Parting Waters
I’m thankful for your tears
For they have made me tender
The heartfelt love over the years
Do I deserve any of it, I wonder?
You could halt me like rumbling thunder
Inundate my shallowness like a burst dam
I could have drowned had I stayed under
Oh how I regret having caused them
I behaved as though you didn’t matter
Meanwhile you were crying an ocean
Night and day, praying for an ever after
Parting waters for a fool’s devotion
