I'm Trying to Tell you

Listen
I know what
I said before
Now I have to
Regretfully inform you
I have indeed fallen

It took hold
Tried fighting it off
But its grip
Wouldn’t loosen
The old me
Suffocated
To the death
Of my pride

This man is who
I tried to make you into
He is what I lost
Growing up without wisdom
I found the one
To end all others
I’m trying to tell you
I’m in love
Just not with you

Before long
I will confess
These feelings
I have
Like learning to walk
I am taking one step
At a time

With each breath
I remind God
That He has to help me
Live virtuous
So he will
See the Father
In my eyes
When I tell him
There is no other

This man is who
I tried to make you into
He is what I lost
Growing up without wisdom
I found the one
To end all others
I’m trying to tell you
I’m in love
Just not with you

I’m sorry for the confusion
But all I want
Fills me
When we talk
Like an out of body possession
God will not withhold
Any good thing from me
So I must be bold
When I make my confession
