Month: February 2021

As I travel through the snow covered trees.

Trying to have some fun on this cold day.

Wishing we could spend more days like today together.

But our world is different now and life and time seems more spent at work than at home together.

Now I’m up, and you’re just getting home, and soon as you lay your head on your pillow, I’ll be out the door.

And this goes on for days and nights, and when you finally have time for us, time speeds up, and it’s gone.

And the ache in my chest begins to grow again, but without you entirely just isn’t an option.

So only in time will it get better, or I’ll just settle for what you give me.

you seem like a far off dream.

Nothing seems to come to mind as I stare at each page.

Not enough time to enjoy the silences as the rest of the world wakes up.

So close to you again, and I hope someday I can spill all my ideas and dreams in you.

A bad situation with only two ways out

But neither is the one I want to take right now.

I want out, but how long until I’m free and the complaints of life go away.

Will things be simple for me from now on or more challenging.

Am I fooling myself if I think something more will come of this situation?

And I don’t want to give up God.

Even though the feeling is so strong that this daily battle is tiring me out.

I don’t want to keep fighting and planning and stressing.

I just want to rest because I know my time for real rest will end soon.

But today, I’m not feeling like myself, and I’m not sure I will be okay.

When it’s time to step up and do what I need to do?

Have I broken off more than I can handle now that I have gotten closer to the top now?

happened for a reason

and now it’s time for me to accept this is my fate

And it’s not over, not yet.

Things may seem small but meaningful.

And maybe this is just the beginning of something new and going slow is okay.

But I have to accept that each step is a step closer to the goal I am itching for.

come to me, and I try to enjoy you

but I find myself trying to do too much when it’s time to rest.

No matter how hard I try, the time I have with you runs out

leaving me wanting more.

But I can’t control time, but I can get the rest I need and try again another day.

For I hope I have tomorrow to look forward to.

control what’s not happening to me right now

but I know that sleep is something I need but can’t seem to let it win

as my need to get it all done before it’s too late is eating me up inside right now.

Why did I want this and now it seems more stressful, and maybe I’m just not worthy enough to be that big.

Maybe it’s time to accept I will always be small and forgetful.
