This last breath I shall take

The ship has sunken,

There are no sur­vivors to re­main,

For all was for­sak­en by air.

My last breath I shall take,

But not clos­ing my eyes,

Sui­ci­dal that will be.

Thoughts of my life streamed in­to my head,

Of the things I've done, with the im­pres­sions I've made,

The scourg­ing pain of re­gret,

The for­give­ness of one's heart I shall not know.

This last breath I shall take,

Is to ask for the for­give­ness of oth­ers,

And re­new my life for God's path,

For the eter­nal life I shall have is with him,

In his shield­ing arms of pro­tec­tion,

Al­though the book of my life wasn't writ­ten prop­er­ly,

Due to my pen.

My eyes begged to press to each oth­er,

Be­cause my time was fi­nal­ly drift­ing up­on me,

And the peace­ful­ness of which I can­not ex­plain,

My eyes shut and let loose of this world,

And an arm stretch in a bright burst of light,

Then I knew that heav­en's gates were opened to me,

And all I could hear was, "Holy, Holy praise the Lord of Holy."

I love you

I'm falling, would you catch me?

I've been hid­ing, have you been search­ing?

I'm lost, can you find my path?

I'm scared; would you shield my eyes and com­fort me?

I'm cold; would you be the blan­ket to keep me warm?

I'm alone, would you stay with me?

I'm an­gry; would you soothe me and calm me down?

If I were to cry, would you kiss my tears away and of­fer your shoul­der to me?

I'm sad, would you wrap your arms around me and tell me that every­thing is go­ing to be ok?

It's dark, will you shine your light for me?

I'm blind, would you be my eyes?

Trou­ble is in the air, would you pro­tect me?

Un­hap­py is what I am, would you make me smile?

I'm al­right-look­ing; would you dis­agree and tell me I'm the most beau­ti­ful girl you've ever seen?

I love you, would you say I love you too?

Be­cause I would, any­time...Al­ways.

And

I Love You.

Silent Sea

Can you hear it?

Can you hear the shouts?

Can you hear my screams?

Can you hear my pleads?

Am I noth­ing to you?

An in­sect on your wind­shield,

So worth­less, a dis­gust,

And re­ject­ed from your life?

I'm trapped in the waves,

That were left be­hind you.

You left the sea,

And me be­hind you.

The roar of the ocean,

Killed my cries for help,

The cur­rent pulled me in,

As I saw when you left.

I sink alone,

On­ly blue I can see,

Be­cause you left me to drown,

In the Silent Sea.
