My 3 Longest

P.O.W.

A battle playing inside my head
Tell me, will I be left for dead?
Voices penetrate my makeshift fortress
Beckoning me, no matter how I protest
Both sides battle for my heart
When does it stop? Where did it start?
Does this war come with being free?
The attacks increased when I left slavery
The enemy knows me very well
Gently, subtly, reminding me of every time I ever fell
Lull me to sleep with a deceptive lullaby
Refixing the blinders that darken each eye
Sometimes it's a fight just to draw one breath
When I do, it seems, I only take in death
The heaviness I feel, I cant see to believe
All of my lost innocense and everything I grieve
How do I defend myself?
Where do I find my help?
This pit just seems to devour me
And covers the light so I cant see
There is no room for tenderness
I want nothing more than to surrender this
Frantically, I look around
No one there, no use in even making a sound
Am I damned to own a life unlived?
No, the answer comes only in the life He gives
His life can blot out the sting of death
His mercy takes in all my sin leaving only me left
Inhibition, fear... fatal as cancer
Can You give me any answer?
Don't let me drown in sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul will keep
Pray..such a foreign thing
Trust... what is that supposed to mean?
Speak, what are the words I'm meant to say
Abandon, everything this world will say
I know I will not die alone
When it's time, I get to come home
Until then, what do I do?
Is it true? All I must do, is merely to reach for you?
Will reaching end the weariness?
Will surrender end the bleariness?
There is nothing left for me
All I can do is try out your mercy
Every time I get this way
I know the darkness cannot stay
Because your light will never cease to shine
And once I break your strength is mine
Fight for me when I'm too weak
It heals me, just to hear you speak
I realize that you're everything I need
And my boundaries you always will exceed.

Letters to Sam

(I wrote this poem, but these aren't my words, it was given to me for a friend of mine)

You tell me you don't want Me
And that's never been okay.
You tell Me that you're through with Me,
But it doesn't matter what you say.

You've never really been interested
In what I've done or said.
You've never been a fan of Mine
And went your own way instead.

You walk away when I get too close
And look the other way
Twittle your thumbs and wrinkle your nose
Pretending not hear a word I say.

I can see right through you.
As you must know by now.
You're a smart kid, hats off to you
But quick wit, it'll fade, never mind how

I've challenged all your motives-
You didn't like that.
How couldn't you notice?
Maybe it's time to take a step back

Believe it or not,
I do know your name
Every blemish and spot
I can see just as plain.

I can see every part
Why not, I made them myself
But running is your art;
You wont take my hand when I reach out to help.

You've been angry for a while
That, I know well.
Not everything fits in a neat little pile
Who knows what you're thinking? Only I can tell.

You've made yourself clear
But then, so have I
I can make the dark disappear
And I wont compromise.

I'm after one thing
You know what I mean.
Life's wounds can sting
Only I can make you clean.

I'm after your soul
And all that implies.
I can make you whole
And I don't fall for lies.

I don't pursue you because you did something right
I'm after you because, simply, I love you
Yes, so far life has been one endless night
But here, it's called forgiveness, a place for you to run to

Comes with no conditions
With it no catch
It's still your decision
But I'm longing to take you back

I'm a wounded lover
But I will never, ever stop the fight
To win your heart, belong to no other
To hold you and keep you, with all of My might.

- God.
