My Resignation To Salvation

Contributed by Flicky on Wednesday, 11th January 2012 @ 02:08:47 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

I once knew someone, who could never move along
Spent far too many years with the knowledge he was wrong
And yet there he'd stand, and I could not comprehend
How he could choose to live like that and not regret it in the end

I'd speak to him one day, and then with some dismay
He'd lecture me on how he saw everything was okay
He could bear to be alone which is more than was for me
But it takes so much more than that for a man to be happy
I told him all I knew, all I'd been cursed enough to view
That I'd lost my faith and all the rest that could see me through

So many precious hours essaying to change my fate
'But you're not in control, and you know that it's too late...'
I tried to disagree and yet all I could find was hate...
'Whatever powers that be, we can't hope to stop
All we can do is pray for some mercy from the top'
And in that moment it made sense
Why he'd been sitting on the fence
Not trying to change a thing and with all of it dispense
So I took my place, gave up on trying to race
Against all the other rats who had spat me in the face

And then it all was gone,
Everything that had gone wrong,
My lost love replaced by one which was more strong
I accepted me, and was accepted back
Not a thing could reject me or my resolve not to crack
I need you no more, since finally I saw
That man liberated me and took away my flaws
And should you find him too, tell him all you knew
Whether all my failures had that effect on you

It was just too much, too much to reconcile
For too many years I had tried all the while
Goodbye my passion, my heart cannot bleed
As I no longer for your soul have that burning need
Farewell and good luck, on whatever roads you took
But know by this I'll now always be here
Should you too become unstuck.
