Goodbye
O the Keeper of my Heart
Yes You
Who else but You
Who formed my heart
And made the mold
Of my love
You who shaped my youth
And wrought in my bones
The craving for Your voice
Who else could burn
Words on my heart
Who else could etch
Their name into my bones
But You
Who else could ever own me
But the one who made me
As the most recalcitrant of stallions
And then broke my knees
So I could call You
Master
Were this any other bond
Any human to another
I would call it unhealthy
And You are so unhealthy to me
Time and time again
You say You'll need leave me
And then You lie
Sure they'll blame me
But this is between
You and I
And we know the truth
I was not the one who stepped away
I was not the oath breaker
The step taker
The heartbreaker
I was the fool
The one who blindly believed You
When You said
Draw near and so will I
When You said
Beloved
But while the rest will speak of deserts
And dry times
While the rest can be complacent
And just sit by
My heart breaks
Breaks, do You even hear O Lamb of Jacob
Because of the Pain You have brought
Take it all away
Life has no more taste
Not since You turned away
And don't turn back now
Because You have done the unthinkable
You have taken the heart that was placed
Into Your trust
And You have broken that trust
And no eternity
Nothing
Nothing can ever mend it
How can I ever trust You again
These are the words
They have burned in my throat
For years now
But never did I dare speak
Because deep down
I stilled believed
That You
Yes You
My love
Would come back
And prove me wrong
Night after night
I begged You
To prove me wrong
To show up
On Your white horse
To save the day
And reprimand me
And say that if I'd held on just a big more
Your actions would have been vindicated
But the harm has gone too deep
It no longer makes me sweet
I wanted nothing but to please You
You have shown me
That You could care less about me
And I can no longer do this
I can no longer go on
My heart has been broken by You
Utterly
You have left me a shell of myself
How can a shell be any kind of witness
To a love worth finding
No as long as I remain
I stand as a testament to Your love
Not exactly what You would want
So I shall fade as well
And sleep with my fathers
And if ever I meet You again
Don't
Don't do it
For my sake
I could not bare it again
Do nothing else but this
Hide Your face if You must
But do my heart no more harm
Do not show Yourself again
Because if You do
Your presence will destroy me
Completely
