there never seems to be a way
to pen exactly the words i long to say
never seems to be one complete thought
everything just drifting in and out
there’s never quite a closed chapter
or a happily ever after
that brings completeness and joy
that isn’t marked with more blood and pain
i’ve never fully found all the words i long to say
without stumbling along the way
weeding in and out of the happy and sad
but just trying to hold onto truth
so even though i’ll never really know
all this life has to hold
i’ll just keep walking through
knowing i can hold onto You.
Very beautiful! I like how the last couplet does not rhyme in each stanza to accentuate the incompleteness of the emotion. Your double use of ‘hold’ also amused me.
