Love Poem: Turbulent Heaven

Turbulent Heaven

My stomach's emptier than it ever has been
I can feel the shaking, can't stop the rattling
I said things that I never thought I could ever bring myself to say
You took my hand and held me close, and showed me the way

To your Heaven
This holy turbulence
In a world that's gone insane

In the whirlwind
You held me close again
And I melted in your embrace

I dealt horrendous pain, learned lessons too late
Tried to save the day, and drifted away
Should I have learned to love myself, or tried to face life on my own?
But I've fallen into a golden breeze, and into it I've been blown

Into your Heaven
A world abandoned
That I want to bring to life

And together
Hopefully forever
We can save it all from strife

I don't know where this wind is blowing me
I just know that I never want this ride to end

Unto your Heaven
A world of high winds
Where everything shall grow

One day I'll show you
How deep this love is
And we'll never be alone
