Human Condition

My heart, caving in
It cracks and bends like limbs
It reaches high above
Only to fall again

There is a fallacy at work
Between what I am and what I was
It starts inside of me
An imposter masking love

A hypocrite at birth
Crying for relief
I must have known it then
What I was meant to be

I see my reflection
But I don't see myself
I'm looking for direction
To save me from my hell

I hold the mirror so close
Trying to see my flaws
It's going to take a miracle love
To rebuild these walls

I can't lose you now
But I've already lost myself
I can feel it creeping in
The fears I've always felt

Heaven bears my heart
It waits for my return
It knows of my deception
And for whom I truly yearn

Grief in Love

My heart aches and seeks relief
My eyes glisten, but will not release
Tears would prove your absence is true
Yet water from eyes draws me closer to you

I'm safe within You. I know this my God.
Can you wrap me in light so i can see in the dark?
My heart has a home it has never known.
It searches for resemblance in the ebb and flows.

I've seen a glimpse of the Divine in you.
But only a glimpse cause you're searching too.
Man cannot hold all the image of God.
Reflection in glass proves only our fraud.

I loved You then because You love me still.
Please see my offense as my own form of hell.
I close my eyes and see Your frame.
It's only a shadow, but I'll fix my gaze.
