Today

"It's been one long day...today.
The things of this world
keep scratching away
on the tattered pieces
and worn out creases
of this person I put on.

I wish I was stronger,
for these battles of hunger
and comparisions
I fight against.

I find myself standing
like child demanding
more... unsatisfied.
My heart is thirsty,
this world has not served me
with anything that I need.

I need you
to be my hero agian
I need you
to mend all the pieces I'm in
I need you
to be my only love
I need you...
only you,
you're more than enough

You've gone out before me,
my nails adorning
your beautiful and holy body.
Yet still I hold fast
to the burdens of my past
unable, unwilling to see.
You've taken on everything
... all for me.

I need you...
to be my hero again
I need you
to mend all the pieces I'm in
I need you
to be my only love,
I need you...
only you,
I need you,
only you... Jesus "
