I

and if my HEART
was never my heart --
then whyfor it breaks?
and whyfor i
feel it in the dreams
that only serves to
take away the TRUTH?

II

i have searched
for something familiar within you;
i have put my hands forward and
cupped;

the existence of truth where
truth plays tricks on the eyes;

tonight i fed on lies;
tomorrow,
i will chew sorrow,
and pass away that which has been
given to me,
by those who
have only taken the most.


III

HE
has called on me
to
kneel and
pray;

to
stay and
fight;

to be still in the light
of all that has to be
done.

my heart seeks
the ONE
who will heal;
who will break;
who will
TAKE
all that was broken,
and paint me
new.

( and still,
i search for You,
behind curtains, and
cups of coffee gone cold.
will You not come?
will this not last?)
