drink from this cup

I can't hold on to this

you and I are almost the same, were it not for gender and some decades

in my eyes, there was no mercy for you

in my heart, there is nothing but hurt with you

yet

yet?

yet I can't abandon you

I can't hold on to this, it burns

I didn't want you to go alone, so I butchered my arrogance in order to see you smile

the evidence of healing scoffed at

scoffed at by an unrelenting bitter heart

an unbelieving soul

as for me, I believe, well, at least now I do

and pity

pity a soul unwilling to start the healing

because time has passed since the bloom of sincerity

the earth has shifted since the last time

since the last time I hated you

and in fact

I cant hold on to this, it burns in my chest

to see the other side of this

your side

the name and nobility you crown me with

the irony of our quarrel

because aren't I made of you

it doesn't hold me to anything

you know, I was already planning

I was preparing myself for you to love me conditionally

but if there's hope I'll take it

if there's yet another day after this, I would anticipate that gracious sunrise

because I

I can't

I can't hold on to this, it burns in my chest

what burns in your chest?

the truth about us

[ady-slim]

It's been a good while

you know what, it has been a while

since we've shared a drink, beheld a smile

what brings you here so suddenly?

we don't talk

we don't even frequent each other

after all the times I lied to you

but the truth I wouldn't admit kept you from offense

I'm used to us being at odds

to us not getting along

to us avoiding any appearance, and any suggesting song

so quite the nerve, for you and I to even consider

see I thought I knew sobriety

convinced I was past this primitive pulse

but warmth barges in, affection assaults my door, enamor undoes the locks and tosses the bar across the entrance to my heart

and suddenly, I'm helplessly in love

Rain

the elegant talent of the rain

to grace a place that it may never exist again

and if it returns, things are never the same

the unique method of the rain

it comes and goes, and leaves nothing the same

it interferes with life, and causes pain

the great havoc of the rain

the balance of power

to be subtle at first, but vengeful within the hour

a wild mystery of the rain

its first purpose was to a bring slow death

but now it renews life, again and again

the undeniable purpose of the rain

Disgusted

how disgusting

a betrayal when I was trusting

I give you compassion, and yet you lusted

the knife you thrusted

a voluntary blindfold

before a Deity that never sleeps

bid grace, seven-even ten fold

or did you think of God as vengeful?

should not the judge of all the earth do right?

so you'd be justified in destroying my life

but who knows you well enough

why trust with such benevolent intentions

sin adorns my hands and eyes

evil glazed my heart

and I drown in mercy each morning

at dawn, I feel disgusting

I cannot bare it

save me, oh source of mercy

[ady-slim]

the future is mine

when the future is mine

who could take it

all could covet

but each would forsake it

to unhand with my fate would be horrendous

it needs someone to cling to, its dependent

a horrible thing to fall into the hands of a man blind to his own narcissism

but a petty thing, to abandon my post, for some empty criticism

I stand alone

not once before, was I ever this lonely

but there there has been time when I was accompanied by complacency

a bitter end, one can find themselves beholding

and for what?

a single moment of enjoyment for what's truly blissful yet scalding

my heart wells with pity, it overflows with sorrow, it melts in grief, and I see myself in each of you

like a sole voice, wails of repentance echo in the dark

I stand forsaken

none would covet

who could take it

don't you see, the future is mine
