I Close My Eyes

I close my eyes feeling myself drifting,
Sifting, desperately searching for my place
Grace has gone, no rest is to be found,
Bound and broken I am wounded by sorrow
Tomorrow my dreams maybe returned
Burned from the pain that overshadows me
Free of the fall that shatters the broken pieces.

I close my eyes feeling myself afloat
Remote from myself, my life faded
Jaded by the darkness’s anguishing
Languishing in the eloquent obscurity
Impurity overwhelming my soul
Whole pieces of me now gone...
Pawn, a puppet to the loss and pain.

I close my eyes feeling myself cry
Lie, tell me what I need to hear
Fear is so close, so ready to move
Prove that I’m better, that I’m stronger
Longer, let me stand a moment more
Pour from me the waters that run so deep
Sweep from my soul the shattered piece of me.

I close my eyes, feeling quickly leaving,
Grieving the death that life has become
Numb from the regret, no hope is left
Cleft from me until it was finally gone,
Drawn from me until there was nothing.
Bring me home again, I’m just so lost
Tossed with nothing there anymore to give.
