I Choose Me.

I have given you everything 
My love…
Far gone 
Even before it was fully born

Foolishly
I took the risk knowing the inevitable pain of it all
Risktaker I might say
With life now far gone 

In an act filled with an altruistic purpose
I became what I despised 

A dimmer 

Hiding behind your shadow 
Losing myself again and again
Till the point of no self-return 

So why do I try?
To find back my light 

My reason to smile
The confidence 
And mostly my life 

So if it means 
breaking from you 
Then surely I’ll do 
For I more than a shadow 
To you.

Who was the one.

All it took was one screenshot, with three words, Happy birthday baby. T hose three words you told me on my special day made it even more special. Now looking back, it was all a lie. It was all a lie . Even after hearing and witnessing everything, I still can't believe it occurred. That I allowed myself to believe in you. You walked into my house and met my family, and all I could think about was how I let a liar and thief into my home. How could I have been so deluded, to have not seen the signs, that you had another woman in our bed? Then again I wonder if it was even our bed or was it hers all along? All that time invested in you was for nothing. I gave you a chance, and all you've done is made it more difficult for those who come after you. 'You'll get over it,' they assure you. Nonetheless, I want to yell. How will I do it? How will I after my first everything has done this to me?  The perverse part of me keeps expecting another guy to show up and do the same...

Christ.

Who are you to deserve his love? ''For e ven the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.'' He provides you with everything you need. Despite the fact that you are undeserving of his love. Everything you need... You may not always get what you want, but you always get what you need. He provides for you, protects you, and most importantly, he loves you. It may not seem like it at times, but he is always present.  Christ is a peace and a love unlike any other.  The ways of the church may turn you away from him, but when you look at it, the people there are also humans who make mistakes. They will throw stones at you, which I believe is wrong as someone who claims to be a member of His body. However, there is a shield in him, regardless of stones thrown or swords drawn against you. Instead of running, give him a chance because he is all there is to this thing called life. Written by Athalia

How will she live?

If you were… you wouldn't have left. For you would have been loved more than anything else. A rare thing you were; A man. Despite your stupidity and flaws, your other traits set them all apart. Our gem, which now that she has gotten a taste, you left her thirsty. You listened, just as I had, and even though others heard you, you wish they would listen too. Even with your smile, the pain was visible in your eyes. A mirror reflecting a little boy who tried to endure. It became too much. The pain grew and created a monster. Bringing havoc unto an angel finding its wings. A fallen angel you are, once the one we looked up to, now we wonder how it went wrong. You were hers but you were also mine. Now that you have left, a piece is missing from us both. A piece that only you can fill. Our void. Battling before you even came you brought us peace. Now with you gone, we are left to ruins. With no strength to fight, we speak of you each day. Tiring since I want to forget you. Heartbreaking si...
