All The Love Songs

You're all the love songs

I've heard before

I never knew

You'd open that door

When I was little

They made me cry

I felt it in my soul

But didn't know why

I longed for that love

But it was deluged in delusions

What I tried to name love

Were simply illusions

That day that I found you

You say you really found me

I was surely born again

You set me free

You're all the love songs

I've ever heard

I'm yours for eternity

I give you my word

Soul's Food

You're my soul's food
And I'm starving to death
One moment without you
I nearly can't take a breath

When I'm near you
You pacify me
Always around you
I must certainly be

You nourish my spirit
You feed my mind
You're like the Garden of Eden
Oh, the satiation I find

Like fried chicken and sweet potato pie
Like collard greens with mac and cheese
You quench exactly what I hunger for
My soul you do please

Don't Compete With Me

All these thoughts in my mind
Getting more intense by the minute
Thoughts fighting with each other
Like the damn U.S Senate

I keep forgetting
That you read my mind
If I try to hide
You always find

Ever since yesterday
I've been upset
Something I learned
Made me fret

Why is it like this
Why is it like that
Wherever I go
You're always at

Like a gentle thunder I hear you ask
"Why do you always have to compete with me?"
I'm not competing. This time you're wrong and I'm right
"Yes you are" he said loving but firmly

With a slight cockiness in my voice I said
"I'll prove you wrong. I know I'm right
I'll show you the definition
In plain sight"

I knew in that second
I was kind of wrong
He proved his point
It didn't take long

By proving that I wasn't competing
I was literally doing that deed
I just love you,the voice of reason
You're all I'll ever need

Full Of Love

Have you ever been so full of love
You don't know what to do?
Like a chicken with her head cut off
You don't even understand you

Without even trying
Your love starts to flow like lava
Your insides are sprinting
Like you drank to much java

Part of you wants to run away
Because you don't know how to deal
You'd never thought you'd know such love
Somehow undeserving is how you feel

You start to write poetry
Because your love overflows
But he knows you are hiding
Because girl, it clearly shows

"Stop running, girl
Come back next to me
Come let me love you
Set your soul free"

Okay, my love
I can't hide my love from  showin'
I'll get out of my own way
And let our love keep growin'

My Happy Place

When I got sad
When I got blue
When nothing was right
No matter what I would do

When I felt mad
And not myself
When all my hope
Was on the shelf

To try to feel better
I went for a walk
I went in the store
I heard you talk

It instantly put
A smile on my face
I hurried home
To my happy place

I needed that reminder
Your timing was perfect
I couldn't have been better
That song had effect

Whenever I seek comfort
I only find it in you
He had already told me that
And what He says is true

If I want to feel that peace
I'll just look into your face
Because God Himself has told me
That you're my happy place💓
