Love

everything is love

Sometimes I drown in waves

They’re something I’ve made

Cut out of paper and plastic

And sometimes they can’t be tamed

I finished it and hoped to escape

I couldn’t face it, couldn’t feel my face

But it was much better that way

Cause then I couldn’t feel the pain

I couldn’t place it

Where it had from

All of a sudden I am betrayed

All of a sudden I’m late to every plan made

Suddenly I’m running behind

Suddenly everything that made sense no longer did

And it’s suddenly gotten out of line

I no longer had any control

And I would fall apart and not fight it anymore

I burn from the fire started in my lungs

I hold back because it’s an explosion

I had already seen so much destruction

I didn’t know how to live without it

I walked with feet raw and eyes red

I haven’t slept a full night in some time

And I haven’t felt at ease in all my life

So why would I now?

They were everything to me

I just thought I held the same place

It doesn’t hurt as much

But I’m so tired of having to face it

Again and again it won’t let me be

I think I’m fine and then I see their life

And how easily it’s lived without me

And I don’t know who I ever was

I walked for miles and miles for others

Till my feet were raw and torn

And I would do it again and again

I’d build fires to keep everyone warm

I sacrificed all of my heart and soul

Until I had given absolutely everything

I don’t regret a single thing

I would do it again but more carefully

And make sure it’s for the right ones this time

I hope they see me for who I am

I hope they can give me all I’ve already given

I will wait because I can no longer make an excuse

I don’t deserve what I’ve put myself through

I have too much to ever not feel loved

And I will wait for arms that feel like home

I’ll wait for someone I feel like I’ve known

I will meet them when they’re meant to arrive

Until then I may keep getting lost

But things find you when they’re meant to

I can’t wait to meet you

My waves can be heavy

But my love is so full

My love overpowers everything

I learned it from her cause she gave it to me

There’s no need for saving

When I stumble upon your road

I’ll know it was meant to be

Everything I’ve gone through has prepared me

For someone that loves like I do

Because life is nothing without love

And I’ll continue to love after all of this

It’s who i am and what I’m made of

It’s what’s allowed for me to giving it to others

It never runs out, never fails, never falters

It’s in every breath and step we take

Hidden in hard times and broken pieces

Pain and loss can also be love

We are surrounded by it, it’s already within us
