I am petty, I'm possessive,
I can be weak and a bit obsessive,
And while I come across as agressive...

I don't finish what I start-
Be it songs or works of art-
I just hope they work or will just fall apart...

But with you I am at peace,
With you I am complete,
You've bathed me and wrapped me in whitest fleece-

I've been waiting for you
Just anticipating for you
Looking to the sky so I'll hear you say
That this is the day,
We'll fly away-
Then I'll stop waiting.

I am foolish, known to fumble,
And most days I find I stumble,
'Cause I'm thinking it's just gonna come tumble down

I know I want to be so pure
But most times I'm so unsure
And, even worse, insecure

But with you I won't turn back
You have lit all of my paths
And I want my heart to turn the palest shade of black

I've been waiting for you
Just anticipating for you
Looking to the sky so I'll hear you say
That this is the day,
We'll fly away-
Then I'll stop waiting.

I will not hesitate any longer
I will not wait any longer
I will step out of the boat today
And feel the eart where just was spray

I've been waiting for you
Just anticipating for you
Looking to the sky so I'll hear you say
That this is the day,
We'll fly away-
Then I'll stop waiting.

Until then I won't stop waiting.

Author's Comments

I cranked it out at 2 AM this morning... just had one of those "DAMN I need to write moments" like I have been having lately. So I wrote, and it turned into a song that actually worked. Which doesn't normally happen. Which is really cool.

Since it's a Christian song, I'm toying with emailing it to my church's contemporary music minister, Joe Campbell. He was really excited when I told him I was writing a Christmas song... which I left sitting at home. But this one is good. I hope.

I'm gonna stop rampling now, so you can read it already. :3

This is really good, mildly complex (which makes it more appealing) and it has a good rhythm and rhyme to it. I really like this piece...

What really attracted me was the picture...I really love that picture. I had to stop laughing to read your poem, which was hard to do.




If that is the case....God had killed over a million kittens in my lifetime or more. :P

Thank you! I really appreciate a comment from you, since you're hardly ever on anymore. (lol, just kidding.) And the picture had to go with it, seeing as the song is a Christian one.
