Oh Nance, I Can't Fix You

How my heart hurts for you today
Last night on the phone for hours
You're at it again, or is it at you?
Your sadness is decimating me
As surely as I write this, crying

You need to know that God loves you
You need to know He is your only hope
You need to surrender to Him to win this battle
You can't, He can, if you only let Him
Please keep trying and don't give up

Your hopelessness with your life
Your flippant willingness to give it up
Scares me so badly that I cry for you
I know how you also cry for yourself
You really don't have to live this way

The lives that we lead are full of paradoxes
There is a way to peace and serenity
Your liquid hari-kari is not the answer
Willingness is the key for you
As it was for me so very long ago

He does not make too hard of terms
For those who desperately seek Him
With all the kindness I see in you
And all that you have touched me with
Why can't you be half as kind to yourself?


Oh Nance, I can't fix you, as much as I desire to do so
I want to, I just don't have the power
He does, all you have to do is ask Him
He can and will free you from this terrible obsession
As I have been released from its' bondage so will you

You are my lovely Muse hurting
I love you, hurting
