January 2019 – mentalnotes1

Her name flew from his mouth and dangled in the air

She lives in his heart and will always be there

Her name was inches from his lips

The same ones I just kissed

And I’d be fooling myself

If I said he wouldn’t be missed

I looked in his face

And I could see this was no cold case

‘Cause he still loved her

My emotions will have me twisted somewhere beyond belief

And have me so out of touch I’ll be hard to reach

Her name

Her name drifted past my cheek

And stood its position for weeks

And I knew she was there

And he knew I knew

I was drowning in a snap shot

And deserving of every emotion I got

Because I knew he was broken

And he knew I knew

Tonight

Head on

Crash

Drinking from a half empty glass

And all I could hear was her name

And he and I would never be the same

I try to smile

Going about my day

But my mind is miles

And miles

And miles away

Because I loved him

He called me her name and I froze

I could tell by her name she was who he chose

He is not mine

Please God free me from my insanity

‘Cause all the pieces are with her

That day is a blurr

But what I will never forget

Is that he called me her

I could not pretend

And I dare not give him a chance to do it again

See

Because

Not

Mine

WATCH MY HIPS MOVE

WATCH MY LIPS MOVE COME KISS ME

FOOLISH MAN LOOK INTO ME

I WRITE THIS POEM
FOR THOSE THAT ARE HERE,
SO SIT UP STRAIGHT
AND LEND AN EAR
MY WORK IS DONE
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT FOR ME TO DO
TODAY, I WANT TO KEEP THE FOCUS ON YOU.
SO, MY QUESTION TODAY IS…
“WILL YOU BE READY
SHOULD THE LORD COME RIGHT NOW
WILL YOU BE READY WHEN THE trumpet SOUNDS?
DON’T CRY FOR ME
MY WORK HERE IS FINISHED
THERE’S NO MORE GOOD DEEDS TO BE DONE
BUT I WANT TO TALK TO THE “YET” LOST ONE!
NO MORE WAITING,
SAY YES TO THE LORD
STOP ALL THE FOOLISHNESS
SURRENDER YOUR ALL
I WANNA KNOW—-ARE YOU SAVED?
DO YOU KNOW HIM AS YOUR PERSONAL SAVIOR?
IF NOT, THEN DO ME A HUGE FAVOR:
OPEN YOUR HEART AND LET JESUS IN
AND YOU WILL —ONE DAY— SEE ME AGAIN!
