Repentance

Your touch I feel subsiding Your presence no longer near. Tell me why the one I love So faint I cannot hear. Your silence is so deafening I strive to hear your voice. The once delightful melody Is now a silent noise. I long to hear your laughter. Your song I grieve today. The loving sound of guidance Not here, but gone away. My loneliness consumes me. Repose within is spent. Until your voice I hear again My withered heart laments What have I done to lose you? Where in our love did fall? I must have caused between us Transgressions after all. I heeded not your warning With sin you cannot live. Repentance is my only hope Will you, with love, forgive? I knew your love unblemished No spot with you reside. But loneliness now bruises My heart, with sin I hide. I must regain your presence Confess my hidden sin. Wash clean my heart with love's refrain And bring your song back in.
