Ultimatum
I enjoyed this poem...speaks truth at times (especially the title--"Ultimatum"):
Open my heart, see how it beats for You.
So long forgotten, You'd think this was all new.
I closed You off, left You there.
I couldn't come back, so much to bear.
So much to confess, left on the side.
Drifted so far apart, there was too much pride.
I'll come to you, if you tell me why...
I have no passion, nothing stirs inside.
Don't mean to sound conditional, but I can't take anymore.
The emptiness and pain, trying to shove open brick doors.
I left You there, didn't come back.
The pain of distance, due to too much slack.
The muted beat, a heart gone numb.
The fire died out, I force myself to return.
No more emptiness, I'm dry as a well.
Send your Living Water, relieve this spell.
I'll open my heart, if you provide words.
My time is devoted, now give me Yours.
Open my heart, see how it beats for You.
So long forgotten, You'd think this was all new.
I closed You off, left You there.
I couldn't come back, so much to bear.
So much to confess, left on the side.
Drifted so far apart, there was too much pride.
I'll come to you, if you tell me why...
I have no passion, nothing stirs inside.
Don't mean to sound conditional, but I can't take anymore.
The emptiness and pain, trying to shove open brick doors.
I left You there, didn't come back.
The pain of distance, due to too much slack.
The muted beat, a heart gone numb.
The fire died out, I force myself to return.
No more emptiness, I'm dry as a well.
Send your Living Water, relieve this spell.
I'll open my heart, if you provide words.
My time is devoted, now give me Yours.
