Testimony

Out the window stares are there

Down the wishing well, hopes run in the air

Collapsing instead of flourishing through

Tender kisses from Angels on the heads of few

The journey never ends

I turn my head and shout “follow” to you

Never thought to leave you behind

Circles in my mind until the end of time

If I were to lie again

Every second of my life would be tarnished

Despicably vanished from my memory

As if nothing else could ever be

But I’m bold enough to get over you

I’m free enough to be free from you

I’m smart enough to break away from the institution of

Two

Giving up? No not me, my friend.

I swear I’ll be the one fighting in the end

The battles worth fighting for

The words scribbled and spoken up from sacred pen

The testimony of lives saved

From the bondage of modern day

Love…what is love?

Love

One syllable of death lying across our cheeks

Each letter with a single breath, beginning to breathe

Torturing our every move, please

just let me be
