Listening
By: yours truly.
Lord.
What did I do wrong
This time?
I thought I did all
The right things,
Followed it by the book.
Why didn't it work out?
I'm listening,
Lord.
Is there something that
I missed?
I did things,
By the book.
Why am I crying?
Why is my world falling apart?
I'm listening,
My heart is smashed.
Again, all this for my
Heart to get stepped on?
Why are you silent,
Lord?
Are you there?
I'm on my knees, Lord.
I'm listening,
I'm listening,
Lord,
I'm listening.
Why is my heart aching?
