Turning to God
Lord I turn to you
In this hour of grace
Just to be in your presence
And see your lovely face
So many times
I take for granted
The mercies that you show
Not thinking of the pain I cause
Every time I let you go.
All you ask is love and devotion
But my selfish needs comes first
I yearn for you in all your glory
But will give nothing in return
And here Lord as I am today
I go on my knees and pray
That every day you’ll renew my mind
And teach me what to say
The time has come for me to give
What you so much longed for
Not gold or silver or earthly goods
Not worship or songs of praise
But me oh God I give myself
To do with as you please
Lord I turn to you
In this hour of grace
Just to be in your presence
And see your lovely face
So many times
I take for granted
The mercies that you show
Not thinking of the pain I cause
Every time I let you go.
All you ask is love and devotion
But my selfish needs comes first
I yearn for you in all your glory
But will give nothing in return
And here Lord as I am today
I go on my knees and pray
That every day you’ll renew my mind
And teach me what to say
The time has come for me to give
What you so much longed for
Not gold or silver or earthly goods
Not worship or songs of praise
But me oh God I give myself
To do with as you please

it hurts
i wish there was an off switch
to all this pain.
i wish there was an answer
As to to why I haven't gained.
so confused, wish I could talk to you.
Why can't I say what I need to?
It hurts why does this have to happen to me?
it hurts why can't you just leave me be?
I am so lonely
Without you.
i do everything to hideaway
I look for you
in every place
(aching
my heart is breaking)
in every face
I wait to hear you
Talk to me
I feel you
but you are so far away
I dream of you
I wonder if you think of me?
i love you...but
I Don't Know if you love me still
i wish you could tell me
I wish I had an answer..
Father God help me
make it through another day.
My heart is sinking.

dear dream:
you are right...
I am full of crap about every promise
i have ever made to you.
I don't deserve your love.
you have a right to be angry and move on
I just feel as though I am harassing and bothering you anyway..
This has gone from romantic to being super creepy of me,
and I feel stupid for writing..
i keep saying one thing and doing another.
Saying I want to be with you and then pushing you away.
Sometimes It feels like you love me,
then it is probably just my imagination,
but how could I really know...
I don't know..
Can you blame me?
I feel stupid and this feels one sided.
Maybe it's unrequited love for you,
love you will never return.
I have to stop chasing you,
because I don't think I will ever catch up to you..
So you can find a girl and get married.
i won't say a thing.
I let you go.

I know that it is hard but that was brave of you to let him go. You deserve love but not from him because there was no love in his heart to share with you. I can say one thing about you and that is you are not stupid. Dreams die hard, believe me, I know this and it does hurt. Maybe one day I will let go of my dream, but at the moment I do not have it in me to do such a thing. It feels like I am grasping at nothingness. I don't think I am stupid either. Perhaps I am being analytical. Or a dreamer. Is there a difference between the two?

Maybe that's all I ever really needed to know.
I really needed to hear this. No...I wanted to hear this.
I am ready for anything harsh to slap some sense into me.
...I know this is true. Sometimes I forget the truth, especially when it's staring me in the face.
I can't do a thing about it..
Just got to shake the dust off and try to move forward again.

You will be okay, I think you need to give yourself some time to heal because of your lost loved one, you are grieving. Don't jump into a relationship and expect it to cure all. You are hurting still...I can tell by your writing.
Just give yourself a little time. You can't depend on people to cure your ill because they will fail you. People are prone to failing because they are only people. You are a brain.
. I am not being sarcastic just saying you do seem like you have a lot to say...
why not write your own poetry thread?

I wrote one poem in the poetry forum called "East Side Story". It was about my down on my luck experience when I first came to Orlando in 1985.
I could start my own poetry thread. I am a romantic and an adventurer and there may still be a poem floating haphazardly in my thoughts that is waiting the right moment to be expressed.
Thank you for writing this post to me. It may prove to be very helpful.

Holding Nothing Back
Lyrics by: Ryan Stevenson
Behind this curtain there is
a heart that's hurting
its been taking a beating
its starting to fall apart..
and I feel like such an easy
target, dodging bullets
I'm exhausted!
How can every moment be this hard?
I'm holding nothing back from you
doesn't really matter what I lose..
Got a heart that's open
I'm broken
and I want you to know..
Jesus, I don't want anything
coming in between you and me
Jesus it doesn't matter what I have to go
through I'm holding nothing back
nothing back from you.
I got a list that goes on and on
its over flowing, with memories of everything
that I've been doing wrong.
I'll be the first to say I've chased
after so many foolish things..
Looking for a way to kill the pain. oh
I'm holding nothing back from you
doesn't really matter what I lose..
Got a heart that's open
I'm broken
and I want you to know..
Jesus, I don't want anything
coming in between you and me
Jesus, it doesn't matter what I have to go
through I'm holding nothing back
nothing back from you.
I try to do the right things,
why am I struggling day to day
with these same old things?
Whatever's taking your place
I'm getting out of the way
I'm getting out of the way.
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between
Jesus, I'll do what I gotta do...
I'm holding nothing back
back from you.
Jesus, I don't want anything coming in between
you and me.

though I be a mere stepping stone
to man I am beloved of God.
Though I am rejected and spit upon.
God holds my head up.
though I have no worth nor am
a pearl to be prized in their eyes.
i am worth more to The Lord.
though I be denied my aching heart
it is saved for God alone.
though my heart be destroyed,
God gathers it and makes it his own.
I belong to God
and I am his treasure.

You could have let me
go as soon as your eyes
began to wander.
as soon as another caught your heart.
i would have let you go.
You didn't have to hold on to me,
and I would have not said a thing..
why did you keep leading me on?
it would have been so easy
i mean I would have a broken heart
but it's not hard to let go.
i kept telling you to move on.
You didn't have to lie to
me and make me believe i
mattered when I
was only a stepping stone
to be used and thrown away.
The worse thing a person
can feel is the feeling they were only
used and not loved.
Why did you do this to me,
drag me this far in the dirt,
You told me you loved me,
you made me feel as though I was the only one.
when the truth as that it wasn't true..
You played games with my heart ruthlessly
and when I did not comply to being stepped on,
or having things your way.
you acted like the victim,
good be the victim!
Never accountable for anything.
For once the victim isn't me..
i am done,
whatever this is
is over.
just leave me alone
and I will not follow or bother you,
I never wanted to.
I was dragged into this.
You hurt me...more than you will ever know.
