I woke up one day to find you'd taken me by surprise; that you'd built a home in the base of my heart and your laugh was an echo filling all the corners of my head. I woke up one day to find that things made sense; that you were where goodness began. My sense you made and your laugh echoes to this day; oh how surprise can take us to a blind side. Where does one go to pray when the echoes are hollow and only phantoms anyway? What happened to my home that was built within my own? Cracked and bleeding; how to salvage the unending agony? I have come to find this space in my mind is a mass, that swallows happiness. Your faith, your smile, and everything for awhile; I'd awoke to find you had taken and left this shell behind.
