Knees

when was the last time

i let him wipe away my tears

i can't remember

maybe that's why

i have a tear stained pillow

when was the last time

i fell to my knees

my hands together

my eyes to the stars

his words lay next to my bed

scripture is on my body

yet the words remain unread

and untouched

as each day passes

i blow by these words

like leaves in fall

so natural

so natural

when was the last time

i fell to my knees

my hands together

my eyes to the stars

this place is where

i hide it the most

i say it will come back

in just a few days

as if faith can come and go

how far can this ignorance

stretch my heart

till the stitches rip

and once again i am

left where i started

when was the last time

i fell to my knees

my hands together

my eyes to the stars

fall to my knees

fall to my knees

why is this so hard

why is this so hard
