11.2.09

My heart is constrained
In my constricted bones
And near my exhaling lungs
Because I can't feel you inside
And I can't seem to pray
Music about you merely resonates through my ears
But fails to resonate in my heart
I know you are listening
But I can't feel you inside
My soul is deprived
And I'm lapping up your words
But this time they don't quench my thirst

Sometimes we grope at you aimlessly
When we can't feel your heart
Sometimes we feel our hearts are bricks inside
When you have made your house within
Sometimes we feel our eyes are too dry to express it
Even our hearts can't seem to sob
Dear God, if anything, give me pain
I'd rather feel pain than this empty numbness
I'd rather cry than to laugh at this time
Because pain benefits me more than happiness

Tear me down, Father. And break my heart
