Wisdom is the pain.
Wisdom is the worrior
that carries you
ninety three miles to the sun.
There is no sunshine
when your are gone.
Your light fills the darkest room.
Your light is my protection.
Your light,
as long as I live.
The word love
can change the way
you act
in fact
it may spoil you
or make you.
Some say "I love you"
but really don't know
what it can do to you.
Many don't notice,
love hurts when it's fake
but when we are honest
it shakes hearts awake.
If you are not honest,
are you going to use me
like a glass of water
in the dessert
or make me carry you
through the dessert
letting your side lover
protect you
provide for you
taking both your heart
and your breath away.
It is hard
when you don't want to get hurt
yet you see yourself getting hurt.
Feels like an illness
with no cure
but be sure
life always goes on
because wisdom
is what brings freedom.
Little pain
to make us strong
to make it through this...
invisible loneliness.
