some of the words in my soul

by Brooke Riley - 6:00 AM

in a glance

i saw you there

waiting in the corner

perhaps waiting for someone

to make the move

to speak to you

such a lonely corner

and such a broken place

to search for other souls

yet here I am

and here you are

~*~

in the night

as darkness falls

all is quiet

and I think

I am the only soul to exist

but maybe

somewhere out there

you're still awake

staring at the ceiling too

and thinking that perhaps

I exist

and am thinking of you

~*~

it always seems to me

that you can feel the moment

when someone begins slipping away from you

the moment you begin to lose them

and you see them going about their own way

and you feel the ache of being left behind

you've tried so hard to ignore that pain

but eventually it's obvious

you're going your own way, too

and sometimes we lose the best ones along the way

~*~

cover your soul

protect your mind

there's a war to be waged

and you are the fight

~*~

"in my mind

endless sea

calling from the bottom

but you don't hear me"

~diving bell

"We're singing

Heya heya heya heya

Heya, heya heya
This is the safest way to go nobody gets hurt"
~speeding car

"Watch the stars as they're dancin'

Like I'm caught in a trance and...

I will steal every one for you
See you on the horizon
I will be lightenin'
I will fly through the night for you"
~to tell you the truth

"Say you have a little faith in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home
Need to have a little trust in me
Just close your eyes and let me lead
Follow me home
To where the lonely ones roam"

~where the lonely ones roam

"So don't tell me when it's over
I don't wanna know
I'm done carrying the weight of the world
So heavy on my shoulders
I just wanna feel this love
Even if it's only when I'm tripping I see your face
I ain't doing no one a favour while I'm sober
For the moment I can only hope this lasts
'Cause when the high stops then I know that you're gone"

~gone

~*~

just a little bit of jumbled words that have taken shape lately for me and song lyrics I always connect with. I didn't really have an idea for a post this week, but wanted to put something out there. hope you enjoyed and maybe took something from this.

next week, I have some big news for you, so stay tuned <3
