All That Is and Ever Was
Christen Warrington
I’ve lost all I had and I can’t find a way to wake up.
Can I ask too many questions or will I be silenced after one inquiry?I found that the shortest way to being liked is to not like, but where does that leave me?
Jesus, you say I should have faith, but what do I do when it’s not in you?
I dream so vividly, but I have no imagination.
Is this some sort of transitional limbo for souls too attached to hate and love and being?
I found the shortest way to be loved is to give up, but what does that leave me?
Jesus, you say I should be grateful, but what do I do when it’s not for life?
I woke up, but I’m too groggy to know the truth.
Is this amber sky I see calling me from your dreams?
If I give in, I’ll take the hardest way, and I still don’t know where it will leave me.
Jesus, you tell me it’s a sin to hate, but what do I do when it’s me I loathe?
