Divine Intervention

DIVINE INTERVENTION

  

When the hurting starts to become the comfort

Your mind becomes numb to the pain

If I could forget and replace a memory

With a picture from yesterday

But my heart only feels the emptiness

It has already been trained

I have to relearn that love is faith

And maybe now God might intervene

Not calling out in prayer

For I humbly concede

I know nothing of my own affairs

I could not possibly understand

What I truly need

The Harder They Fall

THE HARDER THEY FALL

Sands through the hourglass bury the little time we have left

Sounds ring in my ears drowning the love of my past

Crushing burdens are chips on my shoulders made of bricks

Building higher one by one

The higher it climbs the harder they fall

When the outside noise is dominant

That's the power louder than them all

Blood runs deeper than any ocean from any corner of the earth

Mud rising knee deep killing any feeling until I am numb

Massive mountains of fear in the wake of a avalanche

Building higher one by one

The higher it climbs the harder they fall

And there is only one constant

Continuously loving me through it all

Loss

LOSS

What if you lose something you never knew you had

You were never given the chance to do the best you can

You were never able to long or regret

Never had a haunting memory to forget

What if you thought you lived life to the fullest, but was wrong

You missed out on the one thing you did not know was gone

Never looked in their eyes or had a hand to hold

It was never given life or had a soul

It's hard to explain the pain of something you never had

Loss rears its ugly face at last

Loss of hope that lived for only a glimpse

Hope came as quickly as it went
