What a history.
But no one could see
What really happened.
How it came to be.

You seem to be good,
But is it really so?
For behind that face
Is a deceitful glow.

What you say is one,
What you do is another.
To you it makes sense,
But others shudder.

Is it your problem?
Or is it more ours?
Maybe its neither,
But still there are scars.

I don’t know what should happen,
Or how it should be.
I do know this is wrong.
So please help me see,

What I should be doing.
Is it what I say or what I do?
That gives you this freedom,
To disrespect me like you do.

Don’t get me wrong,
I don’t wanna shift blame.
But I feel so helpless.
Things just aren’t the same.

Between me and you,
I take most the blame.
Even though you hurt me,
Its still my shame.

You see I’m a man,
So I take the charge,
Of keeping the peace,
Like rails on a barge.

Why am I saying this?
Its kinda old news.
After all, you know me.
But I still feel abused.

I want you to be happy.
That much is true.
But some things you do,
Tell me thats not true for you.

I know how it goes,
We all make mistakes.
But after a while,
We start to raise the stakes.

I need to forgive,
Way more than I do.
I’m just done tripping up,
I believe you are to.

I don’t know what this means,
Nor do I have a fix.
We both have Jesus,
And maybe thats the trick.

I wonder if we’d die,
Like he did for us,
After I ask THAT question,
Or you leave me in the dust.

We need more love.
We don’t have enough.
Thats why we need Him.
Thats why its so tough.

We really love ourselves.
I hope I’m not to bold.
I only speak for me.
But things are way to cold.

Why can’t we just trust,
In the greatness of God.
So there I’ll leave it,
Leave it nice and broad.
