Statue

Choose me to choose you, 

But dear, I never wanted to lose you.

That will never be believed,

It doesn't matter—

I don't say it to deceive. 

If you choose to have deaf ears,

Discreet discretion isn't fear

(Who is lurking in the corner

Of the former)

Why say what won't be heard?

It's the two of you that I can't make

See daylight. 

Living in your own eternal

Twilight. 

And I'll gladly find it on my own,

He can only get to me when I'm alone. 

It's not the words I didn't say, 

But what you said to me 

That made me lose my voice. 

"Pick up your cross" is my better choice. 

Because love makes hard decisions

Yet I'll face open derision 

When you're close enough to know His voice

I don't have to question what I've done

We're breaking dawn

Here comes the sun. 

I don't need confrontation to make you wonder. 

It's pride that's going to force us to go under.
