This Morning
I was looking for you this morning
Didn’t see you.
I miss your love.
I do have emotions you know.
I threw the thieves and backwards bankers out of my house
The day I rode under the gates and over branches
Thrown by innocent children.
I cried blood in the garden outside the city limits.
I was looking for you this morning
Didn’t see you.
I miss your love.
You’ve found someone else to hang onto.
I know you’ll come back around.
But the agony you go through tears my mind,
And I feel so lost because I don’t need you,
But your love makes me feel so good.
I was looking for you this morning
Didn’t see you.
I miss your love.
I hear everything there is to hear,
But you didn’t talk directly to me today.
There’s no phone line to up here,
But please talk to me.
I want you to because I love you.
I was looking for you this morning
Didn’t see you.
I miss your love.
Author Note: this is a divine lament. not trying to be sacrilegious just putting emotions to a being i know.
