Vulnerable

Dear God

Why must our hearts open
When we could keep it closed
From the loss and hoping
That only hurt knows

Why must we love freely
To folks who dont love back
Count as lost aint easy
When the heart seems to lack

Dear God

Why cant we stay locked up
Much away from the pain
This world sometimes erupts
And emptiness proclaims

Wish you could numb this heart
Of all human error
But while we are a part
Please make this thing fairer

Help me to understand
That there's nothing in man
That is able to stand
Between me and Your hand

To be continued through life...
