Pieces of my mind break apart
to reveal sides of me that Ive never seen
My heart racing, then slowing
hungry breath and a steady pulse
that keeps me going
An inebriate hue, my mind is blurred
with bended thoughts of you
Is anything real anymore?
My Heart has become unfocused
can't read the lines of want or need
unknown Divineness, I am on my knees
bring clarity to my addled soul.
pulled in different directions,
will I ever be sane again?
befriended mind deception
in happiness I defend.
My lover, my friend
my judgement has run thin
All Powerful, Almighty...
lend me your hand?
For I have lost my way
Guide me towards fate's path
Let truth live
in the choice I make.

Love is not only a feeling but a choice you make as well.
