The Stronger Weapon Is
so its easier to love yourself
difficult to love someone else
the stronger weapon
is forgiveness
so its easier to fall in love
and tear it apart like a good bacon
the stronger weapon
is patience
hold out to know the truth
hold out and believe in you
take in and swallow my pride
everyday trampled and hide
so its easier to walk away in silence
to let go good memories
the stronger weapon
is steadfastness
in the same room
sharing the same air
thousands of miles away
sharing the same couch
watching you, fingers fidgeting
looking away, as I find myself.
i am a poet without rhyme and reason
seeing a season tipping his hat
once again... I am born again.
a better person walking away
waiting for love.
the stronger weapon
is love.
i loved you more than words can describe
my perception of the world had changed.
the mountains were higher and more magnificent
the ocean seemed boundless
the sky seemed limitless
time seemed endless
the stronger weapon
is...
it was easier for me to let go, despite how deep is my love.
it was easier for me to hang on, despite how deep my pain.
for all the things I so loved, I also hated.
sorry for being so complicated........
Create Destroy!!!
