Lonely Sailor

You might feel lonely
And left adrift
With naught to keep
You tied to shore
But hold fast, my lonely sailor
And look to the heavens,
The stars, they guide you,
The moon shines for you.
Hold tight to weather hewed helm,
And look to the horizon
Ever looking for that rocky shore.

You Are

Outside time and space,
You are,
Existing and broad,
Covering even outside the boundaries
Of what humanity conceives of you.
You are
Self-existent, awesome,
Greater than what is comprehended--
You are.

Never Too Broken

We are never too broke to be loved
Accepted as pieces of imperfections
Being molded into beautiful works of clay.
We don't have to seclude ourselves
As if we are less than worthy
Because it's not what we do
Or what's happened to us
That somehow make us deserve love.
We are human beings
And that is reason enough.

I Wanted to Stay

I wanted to stay, to make things okay,
But life had other plans.
I wanted to say I'd gladly wait,
That I understand your fears,
Yet you gave me no chances,
Leaving a hot coffee in your wake.
Is it me? Or is it you? Is it both of us?
I cannot tell as I look in the mirror.
Am I that needy that I pushed you away?
I could handle it if you were just not that in to me
But then I think of her.
Why'd you say hello and take to me to the mall
If you couldn't let go of her?
I wanted to fix all the pain
So we could move on and enjoy the rain
But find myself staring at your message
Confusing building in my brain.
How do I move on to friendship
When I had more in my sights?
I wanted to stay, but you ran away.
