Just UsPoetry by Maiko Maya "Just Us" those words uttered a million timesby different lovers Many took the oath only to betray their own integrity As the future proves wrong Their intention I sit there paralyzed as those words Left his lips I swear to you that time stood still For us It's the thing we used to say To convince one another But we were really convincing ourselves Weren't we? That we will NEVER Be abandoned ever again And left surviving With only half ourselves That lives on screaming For that other missing half THE MIND O THE MIND How it plays tricks on you Watch out before you utter romantic idealistic clichés To flatter your own ego and quench your thirsty heart My child my child Your heart was installed inside the mighty tabernacle Your mother delivered you And your father Protects, guides and orders ALL your steps Stop singing, "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child" For your mother so loved you She delivered you And your father in heaven Protects, guides and orders all your steps You are covered in the blood It's not whether you were saved It's whether or not YOU KNOW You were saved You are whole Why then do you cry son? You belong to him And he has not forsaken you "Just Us" though said a million times by different lovers is sacred to be used for you and your heavenly father who makes you whole When we say, "Just Us" let's smile In the moment that we have found Eternal love.
