i will laugh out loud into the universe
pray on my knees to My God
lay my words upon His feet
ask him to make a diamond out of me
there’s nothing left for anyone
that carried or held or loved
so much investment of my heart
and here it lays full of dust
i buried it once
and someone tried to unearth it
and i watch from a distance
to see if they could give color to it
ah but like any poor soul
you come to know
people tire, people go
and they pretend years of care
just wasn’t so
and what can you do to that?
but let them, love, you let them
so i laughed, i did
i couldn’t help myself
what was the goal in the end?
so i leaned back upon a sturdy tree
and i learned valid lessons for each
on how to be that friend
how to meet a need
and how to put my arms around myself
and when to trust
when to believe
and when to stop this senseless waiting,
and get up off my face, and leave
