What is this ? I don’t recognise this

Pain broke in

And took it all

Took the song from the Springtime

And the dance from the flame

Took the noonday warmth

And the morning hush

Now the ground’s spilling beneath me

The ropes are uncoiling

The trees are leafless

The sky is torn

My breath’s a broken feather

There’s no beauty left

There’s nothing here for me I’m paper thin

I’m in a room of shadows and it’s caving in

I’m turning in circles

I’m giving up

The world is giddy

The sense is gone

The floor is an ocean

I’m sinking in

Where are You now ?

Where is Your touch ?

Where is the reason ?

The answer ?

The end ?

Now I’m chasing Your shadow

And I’m grasping for questions

I’m calling out

I’m asking why ?

Yet when I turn You turn

When I reach You reach

And in the searing burn

You wait for me

Dress my tears in kisses

Cradle my grief

Touch me in the silence

Hold me in the heat

And when the ragings rush

Drown me in defeat

I make my bed of dust

And you lie with me
