Unspoken Fear
The Black Knight
My heart aches from hope delayed
A longing where a smile stayed
Ragged breaths in and out
In between tears and shouts
All I thought I knew has changed
Gone what had always stayed the same
Rolling down my cheek - a tear
A lonely crystal, an unspoken fear
Capturing what I never knew
Excruciating apart from you
Keening for what I never had
Rending where I should be glad
Everything I have is loss
To know the power of the Cross
Christ, help me now to see
How You’re leading me
Make my heart beat again
A beat that will never end
Never falter, only mend
A longing where a smile stayed
Ragged breaths in and out
In between tears and shouts
All I thought I knew has changed
Gone what had always stayed the same
Rolling down my cheek - a tear
A lonely crystal, an unspoken fear
Capturing what I never knew
Excruciating apart from you
Keening for what I never had
Rending where I should be glad
Everything I have is loss
To know the power of the Cross
Christ, help me now to see
How You’re leading me
Make my heart beat again
A beat that will never end
Never falter, only mend
