Poetry

With what can I make the tears dissipate
In whom will they revert
Each breath I take is stolen within this forgetful flow
Each moment seems to exasperate its thoughtlessness

So unforgiving time can be
Departing me quietly within its alluring grasp
Pairing all that I think I know
With everything I so desperately wait upon

It is now here, but I cannot wait
It has been torn away, yet i feel it is still too late
Why can't it be now
Please let it be tomorrow
For I can wait no longer

If I could make one request
If I could have the result of only one bargain
May I ask to leave here now
Can I beg this of you

Please tell me it will be just another day
Only one more moment before I can see your face
For every breath is a tear
Every tear is a smile
Every pain is a hope
Every joy is what I know now to be my only truth

That to live is Christ
Yet to die is gain
So here is my plea
Here is my question, still, not apart from my quest

Though it is my desire to depart
To be with you always
This is the result of how I revere
For who you are
For what you have done

How you did live
When you did rise
If I love you as you first loved me
Then stay I will

Though I can wait not another instant
Though I can bear no longer a distance from your smile
I will remain
For only He has dared to consume me in love not deserved

Yes, I will do it
Not as I want but as you will
For your will is my want
And so i go on
I will continue to live
For the Love of You
