Shines Through

lies.
i've deceived myself in this hour of solitude...through the breaking of love and spirit,
these words were spit from my mouth;
the bitterness poured from deep within my heart,
only to stain and harden my skin,
erasing the compassion...and ripping the joy from inside of me... let me go.
trying to rid myself of this frame.

wash it from my eyes, all the sad goodbyes, make me feel again.
leave me here, to reconcile these unfinished plans...love broke me.

trials are in vain. i press on not knowing what there is to gain.
in all that i've failed,
i have come to realize Your truth shines through the pain.
