It’s fallen! We have fallen!
Oh! The epidemic we have seen
And the places, and empty faces
That voice without a scream.
The shadow that we hungered for
But wished of it no more
The things…we let us separate
Walking through that open door…
It’s lost! Every hope has gone!
Don’t you see their eyes?
They empty out into a space
That comes by sheer surprise
And the memories…I love them so
The ones we laughed and embraced,
But even those are locked away
I break inside when I remember your face.
It came! Passed me…Why couldn’t I see!
You could not handle it all
It haunted you with imperfection
Reminded you of the things you saw
That night I trembled with fear and tears
As your spirit flowed to mine
And by mornings light
You didn’t want help…said you where “fine”
But still, I fought it! I struck it down!
But its strength came from you…
So even though I knew its breaking point..
It knew my weakness too…
It turned to me and rolled its eyes
A mockingly type way,
Then wore your body like lace,
And stole my breath away
So then I sat and stared so blank
Into the distant sky
And looked on God with open arms
I whispered “Tell me why…”
I felt his hands so soft and warm
They led me to a place
Where I could toss your pieces out
And wear a different face
I ride! I’m coming!
With the heaven’s strength,
To rescue the one who killed me
Please don’t slip along the way
I wish you where fighting beside me
Now tell me will you come to me?
Trust Him to pull you though?
I wish to slay this evil thing!
But I’d have to kill you too…
