Life Moves Fast

Life moves fast, and I cannot keep up,
I've spent it alone, but not without friends,
But it is still present, half empty is my cup,
And I do not know how to contain my sadness,
I try to keep it together, but it's hard to break trends,
And when I get confused, my mind turns to madness.

I yearn for the grasp of another's arms,
I'd like to know love without boundaries,
But for me, affections turn into harms,
And I try to hard for something I don't need,
My life was cast in a broken foundry,
And I give in too easily, and let my heart bleed.

My pains, I fear, are self inflicted,
I let myself hurt, just for attention,
But this path that I'm on, although I picked it,
Is hard to leave because love is so close,
And I'm being pulled, stained to great tension,
And slowly, my friends, are becoming foes.

I'm doing this to myself, for love,
When I should focus on other things,
But my focus is not on what is above,
And that should be my main goal,
As I try to find my angel's wings,
And if I don't find them, I will pay the toll.

I should fill my heart's desire with God,
Instead of with things what will fade,
But filling up on faith is odd,
Intangible love, without any touch,
But that love is the reason I was made,
And having faith is not asking much.

I believe in my religion, in Jesus,
I just want love that I can feel,
But, in my heart, where He relieves us,
My pain is stacking higher,
And Jesus is the only love that's real,
But it's the love of another that I desire.

Life moves fast, I cannot keep up,
It speeds up faster everyday,
But in spirit I'm just a pup,
And already my hearts turned to iron,
But I'll move on, Him guiding the way,
With surrounding darkness, and Jesus as my lantern.
