I stare into the face of evil
Tempting fate to snare my foot
I long to love and run to its call
But love cried wolf
Now I fear for my life
Hoping that darkness doesn’t catch me this time
I asked God to spare me this fate
I get no immediate answer
So now I deny myself for a time
Waiting to hear
This is a lonely vacuum
Empty, without conscience
Silence has bronzed
It is the constant sound now
I wait for answers
For love I wait
My heart cries aloud
Fear mocks my heart
Love pities my fear
Fear slows my love
Oh Heavens, help me
Reach down to save me from this fall
Deliver my love to a place of refuge
Nurse it back to health
Then set it free once again
