Ramblings
2007-01-26

why do these tears come to my eyes when everything seems to be ok?
i no longer feel this life,
its just a mess of emotion and thought,
and the tears come streaming down,
as i look up to the sky,
and pray.

i have such a great life,
friends and family that loves me much,
yet my heart screams that something is wrong,
and yet my heart is confronted by his love.

i keep thinking of her, and the other,
one who knows, one who doesn't, or maybe...
i am stronger than ever before,
and yet i feel so weak inside.

her smile still teases me, even though i know,
i went down that road once, not again with her.
these words probably are empty to some,
for there are meaning left without.

maybe i am losing sense of life,
maybe i just need some time,
but the more time i take,
the less i seem to get.

my heart hurts from thought,
but thought is what i need.

and now, i pray,
Lord, please take this pain,
I give it unto you.
Lord, fill me with your love,
for i know you are already there.
life is empty without you,
and full in your love.

there are times when the cold
enters the heart,
and I must let your warmth fill me up.

James O. Stewart
