Nevaeh

flighty, flightless, fearlessness

Life is not a series of tallies

It feels like a shadow

leading you in the dark,

and telling you not to be afraid of it!

Eternity balances, the final score

But knowing, in a week

the sun will shine again

Goddamn she’s no archangel

is not fickle

Pitiful

nor spiteful

You’re so close like my shadow

Goddamnest she’s no heathen

is forgiving

Loving

valuing humanity

You’re so close like my shadow

Hymns are the core of my soul

we’re fallible creatures

if passing judgment

cast stones,

Don’t be stonewalling

Nevaeh faithfully,

you‘ll be the only one standing in it.

Cause you pushed

everyone away

when you weren’t feeling like you

Nevaeh if you feel judged harshly-

You’re heaven backwards

Heavenly as lonely

Vices an empty place

I, mean palace

Standards are too high for those

Branded as sinners
