Untitled

The taste of betrayal lingers long after the fact

It's funny how it continues to sear

Whether one or twenty acts


Promises broken, lies spoken, knives in the back

No matter what form it arrives in

One is never ready for the attack


Heavy heart, painful chest

Longing for reprieve

Praying for the kind of rest

That comes when heartache leaves


Trust is gone, dreams are broken

The scars may never heal

Wounds created from venom spoken

This lasting pain is real


Trying to steel up courage to face life again

Moving forward, the past has passed

Time to let the healing begin.

Earthbound Sun

You are my Earthbound Sun
Ever a source of blinding light
I feel your warmth deep in my heart
Never to be touched by night

You are my Earthbound Sun
A Divine celestial gift
And though you may be trapped below
The farthest Heavens feel your glow

You are my Earthbound Sun
Such a miracle to behold
I am in awe of your radiance
You bring a smile to my soul

And though shadows may briefly block your light
I know you will emerge on the far side of the gray
For nothing is powerful enough
To take my Sunshine away.
