When You Put Me On
I'm not your savior,
nor am I the best thing that makes it all okay.
You reach for me and make me your desire,
but these dark places in your soul remain.
I may have the ability to remind you of hope and give you reason to believe,
but redemption does not start here.
With the exchanging of your heart with mine,
I will still bring you disappointment and fray around the edges when you don't want me to.
But it is when I do, that you might (or might not) remember to look inward and upward to the Everlasting, the never changing;
cross my fingers that you will.
Even if I should put a smile on your face,
even if I may actually be the best fix for you now.
On chocolates,
music,
clothes,
shoes,
beloveds,
friends,
work,
books,
shopping,
soothers,
and etc.
