Eric Maffettone Poems

When I was weak, you were strong, when I felt, I did not belong, You were there.

When I was scared, you were brave, when I felt, I needed saved, You reassured me.
...

Love is truth, love is whole, if you love me, I give you my soul.

If it isn't meant to be, don't hesitate, you must live free, leave it to fate.
...

If this world is dead, if the end is near, I have many regrets, but I have no fear.

The once loving me, is full of hate, with so much pain, It must be fate.
...

Another try, I give again, I started shy, my heart started to mend.

It all looked great, but I could tell, something was wrong, as she started leaving her shell.
...

I thought I could love, save, help, and heal.
Though it seems futile, pain is all I feel.
...

I scatter my heart, and throw it away, I show nothing, for I refuse to say.

My spirit yearns for god, my heart seeks comfort, but I just smile and nod, and act like I don't hurt.
...

Each day is blessing, with joy to be displayed, sometimes I wish time would stop, that my days would be delayed.
So many zealous emotions, and so little to despise, I know I must make time for devotions, and let my spirit rise.
The trouble I have was revolved around one thing, from the father I was made, and from the spirit I was formed, and thanks to Jesus, I will no longer mourn.
I was a wandering soul, incapable of true acceptance, but the lord made me whole, it seems like it all happened in an instance.
