Only

You can fill this empty space I’ve had since I could remember

at first I thought it could be filled by worldly things but nothing kept that space filled.

Until one day I knew not what to do next with the life I had made for myself from the choices I had made on my own.

So I gave my life to the lord and I was saved and everything I did or listened to felt heighten and the empty space inside of me that only he could fill was filled and overflowing.

The Flame

of my warmth is slowly burning out as you look at the glow in my eyes fade

will you remember how wonderful I was as I walked around like an empty shell.

You will try to open me up and find out where it all went wrong, a wall of ultimate strength will block you from finding me.

You will try with all you might to break through because you promised that you would always help me find my way back when life gets to be too much.

You sweat, swear, and cry as you pound away at this wall, barely making a scratch at first.

It takes days and hours to chip away at it but finally after a long week of beating it down you finally slip inside and find me curled up into a ball.

Your warmth lights the fire in me again and we come back to reality.

My walls are forever broken by the love you have for me.

Love you want to last a lifetime but only if I believe and trust in you.

And so, you put out your hand and I choice to hold on to you no matter what comes our way

for you are my protector now and the only thing keeping evil out of me.
