Frayed

Brown disks drown in red, gold, and blue

sun shining darker

vivid nightmares of every hue.

Could you help her find her way through all of this?

What hand do you have to give her?

What hand do you have to lose?

Would you chose to help and diminish such insecurities?

Would you decide to banish her impurities?

Can God's hands take away her scars?

Or will He turn her to the darkness?

the demons and the fires?

Will such holy hands dare to touch her singed skin

to erase the soot and tar from within?

Cradling hearts close

hearts closed

bound in chains

falling rain breaks through window panes.

What hand will you give to erase her underlying pain?

What arms will you lend to hold her from the flames?

What blood will you sacrifice to save her from acid rains?

Chaos reigns.

Would He chose to save this sinner?

Whose price is too high to pay?

Can she really walk this earth again and see a holy day?

Too late to apologize

but is it too soon to regret?

Is what she's done against the Law

or against the law?

Hiding from man made threat?

She's set to give up.

Fed up, yet not so unafraid.

She stayed to see what her angels would say.

Man made shadows

tower

high above

What eyes will you give for her to see

a promising rainbow

or returning dove?
