Take my hand and walk with me

Love me now or set me free

Hold me till we fall asleep

Pull me close and kiss me deep

I saw the fire in your eyes

This empty silence is a lie

Things happen, love goes wrong

Then we write another song

I cant forget, no matter how i try

How nervous, the feeling my soul cry

When youd look at me id fall away

To find myself another day

Candlelight a year ago

Holding hands, music slow

Now today love sees its end

There will be no chance to mend

Love me for all my scars

Little pieces of my wars

You’re not the man i need u to be

Love me now or set me free

[Verse]

It hurts so much that I cant breathe

The pain you dealt i cant believe

Took my breath away this blow

Your true feelings u did show

[Verse]

You kept me hanging, try again

But u never mentioned when

When we’d try and fix this mess

The time together becoming less

[Chorus]

You took my breath away

You didnt want to say

You didnt want to see me

You no longer love me

[Chorus]

Where were you last night

The night of our last fight

You didnt want to be with me

Didnt want to let me see

The end was already written

You were no longer smitten

You’ve fallen out of love

We could not forgive

[Chorus]

You took my breath away

You didnt want to stay

Every change of ur mind

Flipping hatred then to kind

[Outro]

You took my breath away

You didnt want to say.

You didnt want to see me

You no longer love me.

Easter in Catholic and Christian religions is resurrection day. The prophet Jesus had been lashed, crucified and left to die hanging suspended from a cross by nails through his hands and feet. A ring of thorns around his head like a crown. A later symbolism to us, as in its my cross to bear. My weight. My punishment. My pain. Despite him having done nothing wrong the government decided he was a heretic and a blaspheme. When he finally died his remains were laid to rest in a tomb. On the third day a disciple went to check on him. His remains were gone. He had been resurrected from the dead and raised to be seated in heaven at the right hand of God, our father.

Easter is a time of rebirth. It is two weeks after the pagan greater holiday of Ostara or Spring Equinox. The ground has begun to warm and plants are growing. Seeds are sown in preparation for harvest in the Summer and Fall. To sustain us through the cold, dead months. Animals are reproducing, making babies to be born in the better months. Rejoice in the creation of new life.

Death means change. The metaphorical death of one and the emergence as something new. Death brings grief, but hope keeps ones eyes bright for the rebirth will begin.

Did we want the metaphorical death to have occurred? No, that is why we grieve. Sometimes things have to change despite whether we want them to or not. Today is a celebration of rebirth, but instead I mourn the death of what once was. I mourn the fact that death had to take place at all. But dont we all wish that the things we love and cherish didnt ever have to go away.

Time to cleanse the home. Banish the negativity. Burn the sage. Cleanse the body mind and soul and prepare for the rebirth.

Death = change. Leading to resurrection or rebirth. Mindful practices keep our souls and minds humble. Grounded.

I will pray and thank the Gods for giving me this time, i will pray to them to help me be strong and guide me through this time. I will pray that he is happy. I will learn to love myself more.
