    ANOTHER DAY (I NEED U HERE)

    Need

    another day

    living in the darkness

    you once occupied

    finding a way

    to smile and laugh

    through my lies

     

    so close to the edge of a cliff

    my feet slipping

    almost gone

    impaled upon the cross of my arrogance

    i rest on

     

    plagued with problems

    like everyone else

    for how can i love you

    if  i dont respect myself

    my false pride sparkling like the jewels

    of a foolish kings crown

    rising to heaven 

    being cast back down

    to live  within the confusion

    of  my illusions

     

    so tired am i

    wanting so badly to sleep

    but everytime i close my eyes

    images creep

    so for a while i must fade

    get as close to the father as i can

    or watch our love be cast away

    to  a forgotten land

     

    baby

    i need  you here

    but not  as i appear

    i want you to view the man in me

    not an image somewhat clear

    i am tired of  seeing you hurting

    tired of watching you dry your tears

    i cannot allow you to commit

    your thoughtfulness to living 

    with me through thankless years

     

    another day

    on my knees 

    yes do i pray

    not only for you and i

    but for those living in darkness

    to find their way

     

    you and i have been given

    a chance many never have 

    in a lifetime

    how many wander through the garden

    only to find

    a serpent  waiting to deceive

    telling them without the fathers blessing

    they can still achieve 

    immortality

    so they walk  a road

    with no finality

    in shame

    witnessing  the rising ashes of their souls

    set aflame

     

    who can i blame

    if i chose to remain

    walking  within the ruins of a city

    ignoring the fathers sanctuary

    i can hear him pleading to me

    son

    my son

    come in from the cold

    to live a life of love everlasting

    once foretold

     

    baby

    i need you here

    but not drowning in man made tears

    struggling to breathe in my river of discontent

    i know  in my heart

    you were heaven sent

    to guide me back to the father

    and repent

    but how

    right  now

    can i lie to you and him

    praising his mercy

    while  consciously 

    living  in my sin

    but i am still strong

    though wrong

    one day soon in his embrace

    i will belong

    and he will help me find away

    before the sunlight fades on our love

    another day
