Butter For My Thoughts



Waiting for doom to sweep the rest of this life from under me 

I been standing on these two feet , thank God they still carry me 

I been looking out , up at the sky hoping to be seen 

Praying and repenting asking the Lord to show me my ways 

Calling out loud to the love I let get away 

Only feeling left to feel has always been pain 

Cause every heart break is a lesson that deems me insane 

But I believe after the first one you’re no longer the same

Aching hearts are hard to put away

You spend hours and days neatly tucking your grief away

Knowing deep down you can't go on - you won't go on 

Cause you haven't given yourself time to heal , to carry on …

And to your soul, that's a big deal 

You need to be able to think straight

But shit gets hard with old feelings still in the way

Old love still smiling in your face 

Times when you have to  turn the music down and pace in place 

Think of what you truly wanna say



Is it love or did lust grow a face

About this poem

It’s the essence of a me during my silent rage
