People don’t just change perspectives. Perspectives change people.

Rise with your Eyes

Heavy sighs
Loosened ties
Tired eyes
In disguise

Gentle cries
Our last goodbyes
Bright blue skies
A new sunrise

Distinguished lies
A grandeur wise
Written comprise
To our demise

Living Proof

These tears stain her cheeks and she doesn't know why
She tries to hold back but she can’t help but cry

A rose she has blossomed but is tangled inside
Her thorns cut and blister she just wants to hide

Alone she is scarred by the memories of her past
By the haunted and tortured nightmares that last

They last her a lifetime spurred moments shamed regrets
She is beaten and battered, "Well that's what she gets"

She's an angel that fell from the blue and white sky
Her wings they are broken and no longer fly

Underneath all her shadows she is still just a girl
Her golden hair lost it's color and soon lost it's curl

Before long the darkness consumes her in her darkest of times
She gives up and stares down at her wrists bleeding in lines

She pleads and she cries for an answer to her prayers
She just wants to be whole again she hates hiding under her layers

As she chokes on the darkness that soon consumes her soul
She fights for her last breath before it consumes her whole

And suddenly out of nowhere on the blackest of nights
Something desperate awoke in her and she stared at the light

As by miracle He came to earth from heaven above
To save her and make her and fill her with love

She is now whole again and with Him she can survive
She is happy and loving and for once she's alive.

Your Infinite Blue

I stare into your eyes
Your infinite blue
Sweeps me off my feet
And drags me down an ocean current
A rip tide
My ankles are tied
I can't let go.

Time takes over
Every moment is precious
Every moment is ours
I fall fast
Hard
I'm being dragged
Dragged deep
Deeper
I'm drowning
I gasp for air
There's no one there
But your infinite blue.

You built me a shelter
Using nothing but the bare skin of your palms
I felt safe
You hid me away
Away from my life
Away from the struggles
Away from the pain
Away from the storm
Away from the rain
I was for the first time
The happiest I'd ever been
Until I stared deeper
Into your infinite blue.

By now we are committed
Things are spiraling down
Down the rabbit hole we fall
Together holding
Grasping on to each other
For dear life
But somehow we make it through
And suddenly
We're brought back into reality
And things are different
They have changed
Things aren't what they appear
In your infinite blue.

And now you're gone
And I'm alone
I want us more than ever
But us doesn't mean forever
If you only knew
What I would do
To be dragged back through
Your infinite blue.
