In a Moment

Somewhere along the way
I seemed to realize
Somehow I lost my faith

It's like I looked up
And it all was gone
Just like that
In a moment

It became an overwhelming emptiness
A sophicating void
Once again, I was lost

Nothing to hold
Nothing to cling to

The world I built
Its comfort
Its love
Its tenderness
Its security

All too sudden
Was non-existent

I am alone
Not a familiar face in sight

Just a lie
Just betrayal
Numb

How can this be?

A thousand shattered pieces
And no glue

I sit dazed
Anticipating the comfort of denial
Not even that is present

What I would give right now
For some peace
To breathe
For an explanation
Something to guide me

An ounce of familiarity
My sanity

No
There's nothing
It's gone

Lost
Just like that
In a moment

Troubled Soul

I see that you're a troubled soul
And this breaks me down inside

How you're full of uncertainty
How anxiety keeps you up at night

I see that you're a troubled soul
Always searching for a way

Always looking for the answers
That are right in front of your face

I see that you're a troubled soul
You say this is nothing new

That this always happen
The bad things that happen to you

I see that you're a troubled soul
Always wanting more

And while that's quite alright
How about the things you have?

Those things, do you adore?

I see that you're a troubled soul
I wish I could make your troubles go away

To ease your every worry
To stop all your pain

I see that you're a troubled soul
But this isn't the way things have to be

If you have a little faith
You'll see that I've given you the key

I see that you're a troubled soul
For this, I've given you a part of me

So that you wouldn't be alone
In hopes to give you peace

I see that you're a troubled soul
I wish you wouldn't push me far away

I wish you'd take my hand
That you could understand

Love and faith will guide your way

I see that you're a troubled soul
But I know, this isn't who you are

So when I answer your questions at night
To listen isn't hard

I see that you're a troubled soul
However, like me, this too will fade

In time, you'll see a better life
In time, your soul will change

And when I no longer see your troubled soul
There's just one thing I pray

That the peace that you'll be given
You won't let it slip away
