Rest your head
It’s time for you to rest
You did all you could
You slayed all the dragons
You did all that was asked of you
It’s not right for me to need more
You gave us all you had
When nothing was ever given to you
You did it all on your own
I know you are tired
I know you deserved more
I wish I could have given it all to you
I wanted to know you
Somehow deeper than I did
But you had lost yourself in this life
And didn’t know what I meant
I know you loved me deeper than anyone could
Our language was mistaken
But our intentions pure
Rest now my love
I’m here to let you go
No more burdens to carry
No more
You’ve done all you could have
And grateful I’ll forever be
I know I wanted more from this life
A relationship with a different heartbeat
But you had nothing more you could give
Nothing more you could do
You did the very best
What you did was pure
Rest your head now
Drift off to sleep
All I want for you is
Peace
And
Serenity
the spoken word
I conceive these pieces with the beat of my heart,
then birth them with the fire of my voice.
