"I Shed These Tears"

cji
4/19/99

Verse 1
********

As I reach to take your hand
it slips and I watch you fall
as in the end you waited
too long and wanted no help.

Verse 2
********

Thus I shed tears of anquish
that you could turn so much
to want nothing to do with
the human fraility called self.

Verse 3
********

Forever ago you promised
you would always come to me
if ever things got too rough
or too difficult to handle on earth.

Verse 4
********

Now the slipping of your hand
from mine is but a symbol
of how much you have forgotten
and how little I can do.

Verse 5
********

Did Satan offer you so much
as to turn your back to friends;
or was your self worth so small
he offered nothing and you went?

Verse 6
********

I shed these tears some for you
but for the other because of you
will not also fall not by mistake
but by fatal design to escape.

Verse 7
********

I shed these tears which are of love
because you have chosen to believe
the lies and illusions of the those
who only desire your unhappiness.

Verse 8
********

I shed these tears because of the price
others will now have to pay because
of your selfishness in a mortal setting
to seek the darkness of denial within.
