Calloused, the heart sinks further
To hang onto every word
Misunderstood and cast out
Compassion now forsaken
Trickling away, the lines are drawn
For love has lost it’s way
Casting judgment, interpretation
The failure to communicate
Formulating, sowing division
For the sake of our differences
Painting our visions or fear and mistrust
Strangers to ourselves
Words become the nails that bind
The hands upon the cross
With prayers forsaken
Exchanged for judgment
Our hearts forever lost
