When the morning came...

I passed mustered my pity from my face...

I sought out your tenderness, but there wasn't a trace...

I felt alone and rescinded...

If you love me then “why did you leave?”

You're all so powerful but “How could you let me make this of me?”

I feel ashamed to smile...

I regret allotting to the temptation of Allowing the realization of imperfections to diminish my character.

Tell me, “How do you stand in the light?”

“How do you know what is right?”

I'm awake in the morning, but it's still hard to sleep at twilight.

I pray, but I don't know if you can hear me...

I always believe so I must take my chances...

When the lights go out and I'm afraid of the Dark, “Will you use your light to guide me?”

I'm just Lost and, Digging through for your Everlasting Love ❤️ To Find Me…
