I was floating through my computer and realized I still had something that I wrote and thought that I had lost. I'm going to post it here for safe keeping.

a friend of mine had this as their away message:

Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street.
She thinks, "Hey, how did I come to this?"
I dream myself a thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place.
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'll do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her it might
She says "I pray oh But they fall on deaf ears,
am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place? "
Oh There's a lonliness inside her
And she'll do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
There's a stranger speaks outside her door
Says take what you can from your dreams
Make them as real as anything
Oh It'd take the work out of courage
But she says "Please
There's a crazy man that's creeping outside my door,
I live on the corner of Grey Street
and the end of the world."
Oh there's an emptiness inside her
And she'll do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It's more like cold blue ice in her heart
She feels like kicking out all the windows
And setting fire to this life
She could change everything about her
Using colors bold and bright
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
It breaks her heart
To Grey

then I responded with:
Red blood has bled and washes whiter than snow
he came and did it so that all, especially her could know
what love really is
what's more than the feeling she gets from his
attention and adoration lavished now
expecting demanding demeaning responses oh HOW
great a burden laid on her heart!
Such a great knot emotionally tangled oh where to start?
here he comes to offer peace... to offer joy... and to offer a heart anew
not just sit back and wish on a star or seeking a genie he desires she seeks him true
because this guy -- his name is Jesus... he hears your gray prayers, has bled his red blood, and waits to wash your heart white and new.
