The Epiphany

I now understand the moment I cease to pay any attention to you

Our relationship suffers

You would withdraw your love from me

And it wasn't because of me

But those deeds I thought I needed to proceed  

And when proceeded

I become stuck

Stuck in a desolate place

Where I think darkness is light

And wretchedness is life

When all that amounts to being is

Life-less

And if I continue down this road

I'm agreeing to give death a kiss

But the list is filled up

Too many choosing the broadway

They're lined up like ants

Needing to get exterminated by grace

And I don't want to be on the case of not being with you

I choose the narrow path

Yes you are love

But I also don't want to be a fool to underestimate the justice of your wrath

This I rather pass

I want to stay embraced in your arms smell the fragrance of your scent

I want to swim in the glory of your presence

This I know for sure is where I will be physically,

emotionally, and spiritually

Well-rested
