Loneliness


I know that friends come and go

But why you left, I’ll never know

I do not know how I became so attached

To someone who could leave my heart in half

 

Raw. I am completely raw.

Your absence shines light on your lies

It seems your heart’s too frozen to thaw

From your lips my heart met its demise

 

But I’m okay.

I know you are only a phone call away

I guess the true heart of fear is loneliness

I guess the only one I can depend on is

My Heavenly Father who sees what I’ve become

And will lead me on Earth until my days are done

 

I worry not that your heart is fickle

I worry not that my heart is weak

I am not wheat to be cut down by your sickle

I am the beloved that the Lord will seek.
