Broken Sight

I have tried to walk through those doors,,I just can't, The pain is too deep, the judgement I can't stand, Be better, be better is chanted through their walls, Turning noses up in discust when you fall, My heart screams inside, what is it going to take?, When death shook them to the core, it was only then did they accept mercy and grace, They re-membered for a while, but as time went on they forget, It became love and reconciliation but later went to their head, I dreamt of you brother, crying out to me, I couldn't understand until you died suddenly, They accepted me as a stranger, they took me in, I knew God had a purpose, through their pain I stayed with them, The love and compassion I felt, the passion inside, I could relate and I didn't have to hide, They later started to forget, the atmosphere gradually changed, I watched the people i love just walking away, It pained me so deeply, I had to step up, They didn't want to hear me, their ears were shut, I cried so much I couldn't cry anymore, Then I remembered in my dream you said Cortney, it won't work, My heart dropped, I fell to my knees, Lord, why can't they see....
