This was written about a year ago.. Bleeding Heart I carried my bleeding heart to the altar I cried out for God to make it whole Thinking if anyone could fix it God would surely know I waited and waited for the pain to cease I prayed and cried for help I wanted for my sorrow, some kind of release In my face the pain was easy to see The anguish and complete destruction For this reason, surely he would help me So I continued to cradle my bleeding heart Still waiting for the simple fix Somehow knowing, until I can repair it on my own There can never be painlessness |
