Stone me
don't throw me
against the walls
separating our hearts
Does it empower you
to keep this storm
inside your accusations
by
picking at splinters
making me bleed
Your anger
squelches
the calm
we both squandered
in fits of rage
built on sand
I'd rather be empty
of the ties you
try to bind me
with old wounds
amid lashes
your tongue
keeps
shredding my spirit
Why not add
the knife
hidden in your
stomach
of burdens
you have no control over
Defy me
by denying yourself
of the truth
that what hurts
is your lack
of reverence
and you don't see
yourself
at His feet
I'll wait
this I can promise
but not quietly
Silence on my end
will deafen your cries
and you'll long
for these tears
to mingle with yours
in time
when the humiliation
of pride's glare
deflects the forgiveness
you forgot to embrace
the water
that flows
and gives LIFE
cleansing the
poison
ancestral blood
could not
No one can
serve two MASTERS
Pick now
BLOOD that stains
or
WATER which flows
