the lies You whispered in my ears,
blinded me from my fears.
You promised perfection,
but didn't tell me it'd lead my heart in the other direction.
the unrest in my soul grew
as You wound me up like a corkscrew.
Your grin darkened
as Your blade sharpened.
You stripped me of myself
so You could control my body Yourself.
You killed me from the inside out,
suffocating my flower before it could even sprout.
i can't understand how such a tiny weed,
could strangle me no matter how hard i plead.
this wasn't part of the deal,
my soul wasn't Yours to steal.
You clouded my thoughts
so i couldn't connect the dots.
trial after trial You wouldn't leave me alone
Your lies continued until i was overthrown.
there i sat, hollow
ready to trust You, ready to follow.
we walked the path of no return,
ready to die, ready to burn.
that's when I began to pray
for someone to come to My aid.
pull Me from the dirt,
help Me never hurt.
replant Me somewhere new,
maybe somewhere with a good view.
somewhere I won't be numb,
somewhere far away from that scum.
the sun seems clearer,
maybe because I'm nearer.
maybe because I'm no longer tangled in a vine.
maybe because I can finally be happy with My life as Mine.
