Without You,

I’m a cancer to myself~

my skin is a host

to the parasite that is sin.



It feeds on me,

growing in strength

from my lifeblood;



its very survival contingent

on my dependence on him.



Without You,

I am wasting away~

spirit weakening,

blood thinning.



Without You,

I am wearing away~

bones fractured,

heart shattered.



I feel Your disappointment

at how my life has turned out;

not your shame though:

shame is of Satan.



You understand why I falter;

You’ve been there.



You know how sin works:

what a rampant grip

the devil has

on this powerless world.



You do not force us

to follow You,

not like he does.



All you do is show us

what you offer

is truth and love.



And if we reject You,

it is our choice

because once we do

you will not persistently chase us.



You do not give up either;

You continue contacting us

in those little subconscious whispers

so we never feel alone.



And when we finally open our ears

and realize it is You,

You will reveal Yourself to us

in all Your mercy and grace.



But we must pursue You first;

if we do, peace and joy

are our rewards

as well as the knowledge

that someone loves us unconditionally.
