I noted significance almost by accident; wish disappearing as kamikaze sun, Replaced by chorus of curious stars and lacquered night; plans come undone. My gaze scanned reach of distant destinations; surely one corner held why, I found myself arrogant in my right to know which sin led to this goodbye. Though skies were clear of debris, my sight seemed to fail as once before, No answer or explanation forthcoming, regardless of focus on Heaven's door. As time passes and our treasured vanish on, I understand why losses occur, We're granted but moments out of forever to appreciate the way things were. Memories leave imprints of the perfection we crave, choice in their scope, With our joy channeled down narrow corridors of desire we describe as hope. But you won't dream in vain, baby; God didn't mean imagination as disease, It's just a lil' glimpse of way things could be, meant as motivating tease. I feel the cracks within each beat of my heart, strained from wanting more, And pain of knowing my best wasn't enough shames me to the bloody core. Hear me when I tell you it's not my faith shaken or belief become insecure, Merely my selfish side asking this to be the one time my love might endure. I bear responsibility for crime of want, perhaps ignoring her greater need, All I ask, Lord, is to please look me in the eye if Your decision disagreed. |
