promise me?

hush, child.

light will rise behind those clouds.

darkness is a coward,

and the Lord,

He sees right through it.

real

my mind
and my tongue
know all the words
that let me speak aloud
all the appropriate phrases
that help me pretend I know you

can you tell from my whisper
can you read on my heart
just how much I lie
O God
who dwells in silence?

Let the words of my mouth
and the meditations of my heart
be acceptable in thy sight
O Lord,
my rock and my redeemer
