Still
I now understand your pursuit of me in all these trials and all of this pain,
My heart looks back through the walls of rejection, and all of my insecure ways,
Always fighting ignorances plots n schemes, shocking it with the truth,
Fighting it yourself only causes more pain, and brings more on to you,
I stopped to look at myself in the mirror, what have I accomplished through this?,
Alot of loss, alot of heartache, and then i question is silence bliss?,
Is there wisdom in the lesser of words we speak when times like this occur,
Because we think we understand when in all actuality we do not, the heart then becomes detoured,
I sit in silence to recognize what truly matters more,
I don't need to say what my heart already knows, I'll trust you, Lord, with fewer words,
To allow loves experience to take you by the hand, and stop questioning all of its ways,
To stop mistrusting and step back to receive, that you will work through all of the pain,
I realize I can't take back what's been done or said, but my heart still knows the truth,
And I still love him, like you still love me, in that silence lies the proof,
