Save Yourself
02:32

The inevitability of your failure is a weight far too heavy for these shoulders to bare. I won't pardon you of your guilt or let you purge it onto anyone else. I can see the lies as you feign ownership of your actions. Manipulation of the savior in me.
"I need your help to change."
I won't save you (this time). I won't help you (this time). I won't be here (this time).
Save yourself.

Roman Roads

Our dissension from your culture, from your "comfortable" confines, doesn't mean that we are without virtue. Iconoclastic ideals do not a demon make. Values to do right by our world, our brothers and sisters, are not unique to a spiritual mindset.
My love knows no boundaries. My judgment isn't clouded by archaic dogma and covenants designed to subordinate questions and feelings.
We are not weighed down with original sin.
We are not restricted with pious judgment.
We are not living half a life in hopes of a Kingdom Come.
We are not, we are not, we are not.
My heart feels free, and that's good enough for me.

We drink the drink of kings, and we sip slowly, trying to take it all in.
They say a better future.
All that's asked of us is our lives.
My son, it's been years now, and I realize you're never coming home.
We drink the drink of kings and it tastes like ashes. They say we've won. I don't taste a thing.

Drowning Horses

I heard a story once about drowning horses and how you can't save them all. Energy exhausted to appease my need to save. Self-worth defined by ending the splashing, watching the waters calm.
Every horse gasping for breath became my cause. Years wasted just to watch them hurl themselves back in.
Efforts expelled with nothing but resentment left in lifeless bodies.

Empty Days

Everything has been taken from me. They say it was a choice, that my family chose to leave me.
How can it be right, when I'm left with nothing? How can it be right, when I'm all alone? How can it be right, when their families are safe? How can it be right when mine will never come home?
Empty hearts. Empty homes.
