Lord you have me on my knees
my heart in your mouth
and I can't stand
I can't even kneel
I must fall

I don't know where to go
you overwhelm me sometimes
sometimes I'm taken
off guard
taken away
to a time I don't want

when we were still
and still hope remained

I don't want this
I don't want her
I don't want to remember
I want to be free

to be loved
to be understood
and cared for
I want peace
and you
and joy

why do you catch
me off guard?
why do you turn
my head?
when everything
in my soul says to keep looking
straight

why Lord.
Why?

Let this be over
let me be free.

Consumed

I see your face in the darkness shrouding
As we make love

sullen eyes filled with joy
staring past my sin

past my shroud

only you could ever know me.
only you can ever see past me

I don't know what to do or say
but just lie here with you
in my deepest chest
beating, thumping
throbbing your love
into my body
into my soul
into my very existence

only you can understand me.
only you care.

And I'm overwhelmed by this feeling
beyond the pleasures I've known
beyond the thoughts I've had

I'm stuck in a place that I don't want to move from
that I don't have to move from
that only you can keep me in

I'm fragile, and I fail.
Keep me in your embrace
in your arms
for eternity.

infinite Goodness,
please,
consume me.
