It was more than a string of letters put togetherit was a thick cloak in the coldand a strong defense against an enemy It was more than the naked heart on paperit was a way to undress sadness … and sinsand an olive branch for the desperate Writing was her prayer and the words were felt.M.J. Abraham

How can you say you love mewhen you’ve never seen me cry?when you’ve never heard the pieces that keep breaking up inside Or when the sky is dark and I’m restless in my bed will you be the one to whisper that the sun will rise ahead? You’ve never seen the battle scarsthat lay across my skin the price I paid for love, and a joy that grew within Sometimes the weight I carry isn't always feather light will you pick it up and stand up straight, brave against the fight? There's always room for fun and laughs and a beauty to keep warm but I'd never sail away with you if you can’t survive the storm.M.J. Abraham
