The Penitent

so this simple life has just turned upside down and the days i knew to come so fast have turned right back around. to the one that thinks they know me knows nothing what they had in mind, and the one that pushed me to this edge has left me far behind (thank you, amen) i want this moment etched in time, all the prior days can die, i never felt so hopeless and amazed at the same time.
i want my head held under water

or in your arms all the same
i seek the comfort and the warmth just as long as i am safe.
when no race is to be won, i still hurry as there’s no tomorrow yet if i could pause this moment i would borrow just another slice of time in this span of minutes lasting seconds  lasting hours in a frame of mind, rewind
