Running Out of Time

So much to do and so much on my mind

It feels like I'm in a race against time

Why am I running with all of my might

When the finish line is nowhere in sight

I'm far from where I need to be

I no longer feel like me 

But with a heavy heart I keep going

Hoping that dim light will once again start glowing

But this pain is tearing me apart

And the desire to be loved has taken over my heart

With so much darkness inside of me

How can I make anyone happy? 

Physically and mentally I'm at war

The more I fight, the deeper the scar

I just want to feel free

I want to be me

I'm afraid I don't know who I am anymore

I'm afraid of what's on the other side of that door

Who will stare back at me? 

What will I see? 

Will I even recognize me? 

Or will everything be a complete catastrophe? 

These are the thoughts that plague me everyday

These are the thoughts of distrust and negativity that I want to go away

These are the thoughts that have taken over today

So with tears in my eyes the only thing I can do is pray

I Love You

We will have our ups and downs 

But I promise to always be around

Love doesn't go away in a day

Plus I told you that my love was here to stay

You are the twinkle in my eye

It's you I desire even when I cry

No matter my emotions I want to be with you

I still want that beautiful future you promised me too

Just promise me that we will grow together

Stand together through any weather

Fight side by side with each other

Not face to face intentionally hurting our lover

I'll always be here for you

I'm talking spiritually, emotionally, and physically too

Because my love for you keeps growing

So we must do whatever we need to keep it going

I will never give up on us

We will build a stable foundation of trust

And I can never let you leave me

I believe we were meant to be a family

My soulmate, my twin flame

I'm trying to take your last name

And I'm sorry that I doubted you

Because I love you
