Emptiness of the Heart
Jesus, what can I say?
The Words we said tonight
Ripped our hearts in half
Sitting here. I dwell in the echoes
“We Just won’t work,”
My stomach knots and my heart
well, it is numb
Hours ago it was on fire
Hot from the warmth of your love
Now it is cold in the void
Left to wonder through the chambers of my heart
I lie here, staring at the ceiling
The words
WHY WHY WHY
dangling and creeping through my brain
How could I hurt the one
who has shown me only love?
The answer: the selfish insecurity
that shared my body with my soul
Insecurity had left for a short time
left when I fell in love with you
You made it disapppear
Where there was a gap you built a bridge
Where I was dead you brought life
Now the words you’ve said
brought it all back
the insecurity rushing through me
drowning me
suffocating me
I can’t breathe, I can’t see
Our love ‘s death has stopped for us
telling us it’s over
that it’s time to go
Lord, my heart wants to stay
it is not time to leave
We just started our new journey
Together, our hearts and our minds have locked
joined to make one thought, one steady heart
I stand here, tears cage my eyes
stinging them with every drop that closes
around them
The wet tears fall down my cheeks
run into my mouth
I think only of your lips
that once embraced mine
The softness of the touch
the sweet bitterness from the taste
I rub my my soaked cheek
rubbing the wetness in, so I can feel you
your tears, your pain
wondering if you feel mine
Fearfully I tremble as love races
around my heart. It reminds me
of the rough ocean we travel through
that nothing is easy
nor handed to us
Giving up and washing the blood stains
off our hands would be to simple
To endure, to press on, to overcome obstacles
is what true love thrives on
Our love is true; it must stay true to survive
Death is here
Pleading with you, just as i am
Whose hand will you hold?
Whose ship will you ride the ocean on?
Whose lips will you embrace?
Whose heart will you take?
