VANISHING YESTERDAY
​

Pull me awake
pull on the things within my core
make me ache
to see it all again
with eyes open or closed
make me want you in ways with which I can’t debate
erase any will to hesitate


Don’t make me discern it as self will
make me tap into the raw
so much so 
that it is only as it is
nothing to apologize for 
everything to glorify
I don’t answer to God or anyone
but in this moment it is you I deify

I took hope for granted until today
this place of intersection 
I knew the taste of victory of certainty 
I knew not all that I could be
until you showed me

The music was rewritten around your name,
gave me faith in humanity, worth in integrity and sincerity,
guided me to finally stop settling, 
to see.

You don’t know all the details
but you know I’m true

I was restless
heart listless
here I now sit staring
through us
breathless
weightless

You changed the way I see myself
I am worth something because you found value here

You freed me from him 
walked me straight into the sun
but I am not burning here
except with the thought of you
