Battle Scars

Battling unearthed wars is demanding.
Step inside my mind, see where I'm standing.
Believe in my instinct just once,
Understand where I'm coming from.
Take a shot for me as I would for you.
But those are things you can't do,
You won't do.

Be still in my presence.
Watch my eyes, see them break,
See them cry.
Look beyond my flesh,
Be there to catch my breath.
Hold my hand before I fall.
See this heart go through it all.

Battle through my broken smiles.
Break into my heart,
Tear me apart,
And fix me all over again.
Understand this place I'm coming from.
Patch my wounds just enough.
Feel my mind racing up mountains.
Observe my heart through rising actions.

I'm not saying that I'm at war.
Just scent my thoughts, feelings, worries.
Believe in my love, my choice of words.
Hold my heart closer to yours.
Resharpen tormented swords,
And bask in present glory.

This Boy

And I got a single glimpse of sweet love tonight.

I can't understand it all at one time, though.

But he kissed my lips with a smile,

And held me back against the wall.

He took my hand and it felt as if he'd never let go.

He breathed and it felt as if he'd live to be forever mine.

Forever in time, forever beside me.

This boy, he truly loved me.

This boy, he truly adored me.

This boy, this boy I'd never let him go.

He made me feel truly in love,

But I can't understand it all at one time, though.

But here I am, falling in more love than I truly really know,

With this boy.

Arise

Arise my deep soul,
Stay alive, stay whole.
Write from within your heart,
Write like there was no start.
Believe in me, believe in us.
Achieve greater things,
More than what you can trust.
Arise sweet soul,
Make the secrets unfold,
And build a mindset to tell of the untold.
Arise brave soul,
Know that you have what it takes,
To believe and achieve in something great.
