Do I miss your smile now?
Or do I miss the pain?
Always heavy tears,
Falling down like rain.
I guess I don't really know,
How I'm supposed to feel
After all the pain you've caused,
How do I even heal?

I've never let you in my heart,
Though in the beginning,
I tried from the starts.

After many comments,
Horrible explosive fights,
Many tear-filled nights.

I closed my door and slammed it shut,
Never to let another soul in.
But somehow Jesus you came in.

Several years go by,
I walk with Him now arm in arm,
But still face the one who caused me harm

But now your life is fading,
What do I even do?
I can't even hardly say, "I love you."

I want to run away,
Slam my heart shut again.

But in the pain filled silence,
I feel your hand,
You threw away my sin,
As far as the East is from the West,
Flying in the wind,
Lost in the sand.

But now I need you,
I always do,
It's not a one time thing.
Your presence is a place
I'm healed and made well.
Wrap in your arms,
Take away the pain,
A pain that he caused,
I can't even say his name!

Help me! I don't want to drown again

My toes touch the water,
And it's so very icy cold,
"Come away from there!"
"It's dangerous! " I'm told.

A sinking sea with waters dark,
The way my heart was,
Compared to now,
Their contrast stark.

Give me a boat, a lifeline,
A willingness to run!
I'm screaming at the midnight air,
But now I see the Son.
His radiance and light,
Break through the darkest night,
And here I am,
On the other side.
No longer needing to hide,
Behind an icy cold exterior,
But now filled with fire,
And the light of your Spirit

You're calling now and I hear it.
