A Walk.

The day is fading and night is closing us in,
the darkness is so bitter, yet somehow it lures me to stray...
I loosen my grip, releasing the warmth of your hand from mine.
Distressed You watch my silhouette fade into the shadows,
but they cannot come near You for you are only light.
My heart has no control, the pitch black consumes it.
My soul is filled with fear, searching every corner for some light,
but the only light I ever knew was rested in Your hand that I held no more.
I cry out for You, screaming for safety.
No answer came.

I begin digging and clawing only to feel the pain rebirth itself.
There is nothing but emptiness and the more I try to find, the more I feel lost.
The void grows deeper with every second I am not with You.
I just can't be with You for You are for too great for this piece of shame.

So I begin to run.
Hard and heavy like the beat inside my chest.
Somewhere I will find a peace, if only I keep searching.
You are far too great.
I am far too unworthy.

Suddenly I feel a hand reach out to mine.
I grab it relieved that I found something in the emptiness.
It's clasp is frigged and rough, unlike Your touch my heart has been craving.
Yet I hold on.
A deep, eerie voice whispers in my ear, seducing me walk with it.

So I walk.
Hand in hand with a new lover.
My heart can feel again, but only when the voice tells me I am his.
Where am I now?
A place that I deserve.

Something deep inside of me wants to feel Your embrace again,
but I know that may never happen; it couldn't ever happen.
Why did I leave You, my love?
Beloved why did I let go?
You have done nothing but love and care for my vulnerable soul.

My heart cannot stand the layer of rock that has surrounded every inch,
I want to break loose from this grip but mutiny would be death.
Maybe I should die for I without You I could never live again.

Suddenly I see light falling in front of my face.
Speckles of bright dust are consuming this empty place.
I feel the hand torn away and a peace inside me start to fill,
the last time I felt like this was when You held me still.
The light is filling ever crack that I had never seen before,
could it be You, oh my love, have You came once more?

My heart begins to race, I feel Your alluring spirit.
Come to me my most gracious One and fill me with Your presence.
I've longed to feel Your romance that I left in my ignorance.

Why would You come to save me, my love?
Why did You make me wait?
Why hadn't You stopped me, when You knew my inevitable fate?

Your love I could never replace or desire anything more.
Even though I walked away, You pulled me back to shore.




This is about Jesus, by the way.
Definitely not Shakespearean.
I don't really think that matters too much to Him anyways...
