When God Speaks

“When God Speaks”

God speaks to her in cold silence
She wants to speak back but words fail
Love had crawled in like pestilence
And now she can only look to the bottom of the well
She sees her love with another
Her best friend once, now a mistress
She wakes up and asks, “Why bother?”
Her wet lips kiss the air of distress
She cries! She cries!
He’s too blind to see her despair
Her pillow soaks up all the tearful goodbyes
As she finds her heart without repair
But there will come a new day
When a heart will mend and pain washes away

God speaks to him with harsh words
His new love, not a love at all
Heart strings played out their final chords
His soul the pillar about to fall
Tears could never replace the bliss
Deceived by her earthly charms like a serpent
Now his very mirror wouldn’t even dare to kiss
He loved another woman before, he wishes to repent
In a crowded village he sees her standing there
Holding a white rose as angels would
His heart skips a beat just to know she’s near
He desires passion that once was and what could
But another man approaches and kisses her soft face
Taking the rose, and with it, the Lustful’s disgrace

God speaks to them as fools who lost
She, the painful yet romantic
Always questioning her heart for the cost
Her heart beats a tune so heavenly systematic
He, the lustful yet brave
Always searching his heart for the right beat
His passion for her crying for another second to save
His heart never once asked for defeat
Even though alone, he still craves her touch
Even though with a new love, she craves the Lustful’s embrace
He sees them holding hands and cries so much
She holds the new love’s hand but can’t look him in the face
Never again to fulfill the deepening love
God whispers their hidden prayers onto the wings of a white dove
