~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

While I struggle to see her point of view, I feel the need to share her truth When she left the room, feeling dark blue I could see pain’s shadow in her youth While I silenced the source of my regret I felt her dreams stifled by distress When the tears came, she’d not forget I thought of the feelings I couldn’t express While I still see her heart, worn on her sleeve I feel like she might have won some victory When she walked away, hearts would grieve I see how this consequence is so contradictory While I slowly call to the One who saves I feel like she must know the light of grace When she left the past behind, in quiet graves I knew there was a promise of hope to embrace While I don’t expect to have the chance to explain I felt like the Son had splashed love everywhere When she let go, gave into the darkest pain I understood her sorrow as I bowed my head in prayer
