Forgive the Silence

Can You give me water

I’ve been here far too long

Thirsting in this desert

This land has dried my soul

Though I had streams and rivers

For miles and miles

I left them for

My barren desires

Even amidst my thirsting

I drank the dust

Of purposeless dreams

And futile stories

I’m the thief of my life

I gave life to distance

The warmth has turned to cold

Brought silence to existent

And it's deafening my soul

Our once sweet communion

Made quiet by my ways

The feast that fed my spirit

I have left to decay

Though I heard you calling me

Through my silence

I reveled in

This mute existence

Where I found crippled joy

And broken sorrow

A numb today

And dim tomorrows

Though I had streams and rivers

For miles and miles

I left them for

My barren desires

Even amidst my thirsting

I drank the dust

Of purposeless dreams

And futile stories

I’m the thief of my life

I’m the thief of my life

I’m the thief of my life

Forgive the silence of my soul

Forgive the silence of my soul

I see the light

I hear You cry

I come

I come
