When I look into my heart....I find you



Every week, I look into your eyes

           My soul feels tortured

Every week I look into your eyes

        My heart wants to confess all  

             Of its hidden desires

Yet it is always blocked by fear

 

For the first time in my life

    There is no ulterior motive

I have no destination in mind

   The truth is heavy on the Toung

It needs to be set free

   In order for the true life to begin

I seek, I wait, I pray for God to  

                Set my words free

About this poem

I pray to God every day for him rid me of my fear and to let me tell my beloved the hidden desires of my heart
