I haven't posted in a while...Life took over...Just something on my mind today..

I thought my life was beginning
Living for the extreme and care-less
Until the day she entered my world
Crippling me with extreme care.

Her heart was open and true
And I feared that the beat was real
For I’ve never met a heart so true
To reveal the innermost me

She saw me for who I truly was
Not the image created by life and love
And she embraced me through the veil
Of images created over time

And now I think my life is new
For what I chose to live no longer enticed
And the things I enjoyed now change
For I enjoy the time in her embrace

She loved me through her own pain
Her fears coursing through my veins
So that I can no longer run from joy
When pain has given up its place

I loved her to life as so many prescribed
But my life-love could not overcome her past
When the present produced such a clear
Reproduction of a broken heart experience

I never knew I was repetition
Walking steps that caused so much pain
Until the moment arrived where I freed
The one thing hindering our progression

I shared my heart beyond the last
No longer thinking of things long ago
No longer seeing reflections of distrust
But accepting open doors of forgiveness

I…see my life is better now
Simply because she is in between the lines
Holding together the delicate threads
Weaving a place suitable for her

She has taken over my thoughts…
I can see without her in my vision
Everything I do becomes a reflection
Of the one who has repossessed my heart

But when I let her in…she changed
Taking my heart and adjusting its flow
So that whenever it skipped a beat
Its because she no longer held on

Her past fears have met her present
And now they battle with my future
Which affects my hopes of a life
That I thought existed within us

I decided to surrender my destiny for her
Giving up on my future hopes and dreams
Only to discover that when I asked God to take my life
He…took…hers…

And here i sit
Looking at what I wanted life to be
No longer living
Freeing me into a place unknown

How can I move beyond this moment
When all I knew was her pulse in mine
When our two hearts beat as one
And mine now missing a pulse

Time to live again
Mend the places where she existed
Look to find love again
In places I’ve never traversed before

Living a new life...
