This World Alone

She sits and waits. 
Longing for something 
or someone
that may never come. 
Lost in a world 
that wants nothing more 
than to keep her hidden  in 
her fear and her 
pain. 
Does anyone see her? 
Does anyone hear her? 
The feeling of invisibility wraps around 
her spirit as she 
sits and waits. 
Searching for something 
she can't seem to reach. 
Something she is not sure is even 
there. 
He walks around, 
alone in this world, 
looking for something he feels is missing
something he can't seem to find. 
He pulls a picture out 
of his pocket, 
a face he no longer sees
looking back at him. 
How he wishes things 
were different, 
that it were him that was 
no longer here, 
instead of the one 
thing he misses the most. 
Does anyone see him? 
Does anyone hear him? 
Lives lived searching for the unknown. 
Lives longing for something 
their souls desperately need
to cling to, but is out of their grasp. 
God sees it all, 
He sees them, 
He hears them and He 
has never left them. 
Through the pain, the tears, 
the heartaches they have faced
He was there. 
He is waiting for them to reach out, 
to call on Him. 
He longs to heal their pain, 
show them His plan, but
until they stop 
limiting His hands, 
there is nothing He can do. 
God sits above us, 
waiting for 
us to hear Him, 
to see Him working in 
our lives. 
If only they would seek Him.

O' Lost Little Girl

Why are you looking? Searching for comfort in 
the things of this world? 
Why do you seek those that 
hold you back and keep your eyes off
the one that matter? 
O' lost little girl, where are you? 
Why are you sitting at the stop light
asking, "Where is God in this moment?" 
Why are you holding yourself
back from God, but 
freely giving it to the world around you? 
A world controlled by sin, 
controlled by greed, 
controlled by all things that 
God despises? 
How can you ask where He is, when 
you are not looking for Him
but looking for 
fleeting moments of 
self satisfaction and 
personal gain? 
Why do you ask where is He, when you 
hold ugliness inside you, 
when you refuse to forgive those 
that have wronged you? 
Where is your compassion? 
Your hope? 
Your faith in the one who created you? 
Where are you, lost little girl? 
He has never left you! He never will! 
No matter what you do, no matter what you say, 
He is there, longing for you 
to seek Him, to reach out to Him! 
He longs to give you the blessings He has for you,
if only you would turn to Him and away from the world! 
Seek Him and you will find Him. 
Hold on to Him and you 
can't fail! 
Every breath you take, every day you wake up, 
every moment of every day is given to you
by the creator of heaven and earth! 
Don't ask, "Where are you God," 
instead say, 
"I am here God, seeking You!
longing for you!" 
O' lost little girl, His love 
is the only love you need. 
His word is the only 
instruction you need to 
follow. 
Life with Him is life eternal! 
O' lost little girl, 
God's love is never failing, never ending!

O what to name this one.....

A small smile 
appeared on my face, 
as I came across 
old conversations we had. 
Memories of sweet times and 
silly conversations 
ran through my mind
as I thought of you this moment. 
For a brief moment
I missed you. 
Missed the quiet conversations
the sweet moments and 
occasional 
texting. 
It lasted only a moment, 
when next came the 
realization
it was never meant to be
anything serious. 
How could it be? 
When craziness loomed at 
every turn. 
We never stood a chance
with the shadow that hung overhead. 
The reason, the only reason, 
I kept my distance
was fear of being 
another horror movie
based on crazy ex-lovers
who wait in the shadows, 
biding time 
waiting...
for that moment 
to be the 
hand that rocks the cradle. 
Anger raged inside 
as I remember 
the lies that spilled from your 
mouth. The empty 
promises that 
she meant nothing. 
The twisted belief 
that I meant something. 
For a brief moment
the sweet moments 
overshadowed the narcissitic
psychotic 
and demented friend, 
one can only label
as a stalker.
