once again i break your heart

once again i break your heart

while im stuck on counting who has broken mine.

all you ever do is bless me,

and love me.

but my eyes are pulled away.

here i try to warn the others,

no one listens, no one understands

and i myself have fallen prey



how could we let ourselves be deceived,

how could we forget our reason,

how could we become so distracted?



infatuated with our desires,

comforted by our emotions,

running back to a mortal hand,

and forgetting yours.

in tears you call our name,

in pain you give us life,

in blood you offer us salvation




we say we love you,

we think were doing your will,

but we keep running back to ours.

why have we attempted
to conform you to our will,

rather than to conform ourselves to yours?

have we accepted your sacrifice in vain,

to profit ourselves?
or have we laid down our desires, will, and life

as you have done for us?




children,

stand up,

open your ears,

open your eyes,

open your hearts


in the end

we will stand or we will fall.

there is no middle ground.



may we return to the truth,

the life,

the way...

and not alone,

but together, let us stand.
