feelings are for humans and

feelings are what I lack 

cares are what I need this time
not this numb and lifeless face I find

the mirror shows those dark eyes of mine  

the ones that can conquer the world but are void of light
the ones that softened for a season 

but then welcomed the night

the ones that chose strength 

now cling to fear 

the ones that knew life 

hold death too near 

where did the kind one go to hide? 

with a smile on her face 

and bright shining eyes
she was here not long ago, 

dancing with the sunshine

now she carries shadows 

through late hours
now she's left empathy to die
she watches honor and honesty fall behind

when did the strong one forget to fly?
now she battles with old ghosts and new
she's forgotten her victories were never few
she's forgotten to keep her eyes to the sky
she lost the voice that told her to try

this girl once so filled with hope
she left behind a pathetic sight 

only a dark eyed girl to cope
she left behind all wrongs or rights
emptied days and confused nights

I found her here kneeling 

eyes searching the ceiling 

with a hole ready for filling

and heart reaching for feeling

hands open for receiving 

soul clinging to believing 

body desperate for Your healing 

feelings are for humans

and I long to be one again
