Sinner

Yesterday I lied
And told a man I couldn’t help him
When I could

Yesterday I sent the mission money
So that people could eat
People who can’t buy food

Yesterday I asked a patient how he felt
But he didn’t answer me
Because he couldn’t talk

Yesterday I learned
How to take a person to the very bottom
And then bring them back up

Yesterday I heard a song
And I cried a little listening
By myself in my car

Yesterday I hugged a friend
Who I haven’t seen
To let her know that I miss her

Yesterday I heard a rumor
And I told someone else
I perpetuated what I didn’t know for sure

Yesterday I sinned
But no more than any other day
But I’m sorry

Days are now like a blink in my eye
Weeks are like the tears that I cry
Days move fast, but hours move slow
Dragging along I long to know
How long it will take to get through this pain
I need strength just to say your name
Lonely longing without you here
The setting sun is my biggest fear
I'm bound by these walls that are holidng me in
Time stops and starts, I don't know where to begin
The distance between us grows everyday
Not just the roads, but the words that we say
I think of you often
When the aching stops time
I'd give the sun to the moon if she'd make you mine.
