Mellifluous Murmurs

Right Here, I Stay

This rock holds a blessing

This rock holds a lie,

It may not be ideal

But it's my entire life.

I wrote my worry

I wrote my pain,

I left it there, 

but I never saw it again.

He, the Lord Almighty,

He took it from me

I was told that I was His beloved child,

I was told that I was loved

I was told I was a blessing

I was told I am a dove.

I counted my fingers until life told me to stop–

I was on a boat,

it started to rock.

I sold my sins

I sold my pain

But my skin was only held with pins

when I realized I was doomed,

because I was sure

that I was that damn rock.
