Sitting in the Silence.

    The explanation for this post is short, and it will be kept short. :) Last night I thought of going to the chapel, but I stayed home because it was late and I got scared that even though it was a church, there are still bad people out there and 'you never know'... Plus I wasn't going to tell anyone that I was going, so I decided to stay home. Well, reason I was going to go in the first place was because I really wanted to write but I had a bit of writer's block going on and I couldn't think of anything to write.

Right before bed I said a a prayer, opened my laptop and wrote three lines. Nothing more would come to me so I gave up and went to sleep. Well, I woke up this morning and thank God I had my laptop already opened to 'Pages' (the equivalent of Word) because the rest of this poem just poured out from the inner most part of my heart. I must have been dreaming that I did go to the chapel because honestly, nothing can really explain what made me write this... Well, I guess my short story got made long after all. Here's the poem He made me write...

Sitting in the Silence

Sitting in the silence,
It’s the loudest that it’s been;
See the walls around me
As they’re slowly caving in. 
Alone my thoughts surround me,
They are screaming for my Friend
I look up and say a prayer, 
Stay away from how I’ve been
Not too long till He’s beside me
Calmly whispering---
“In this empty chapel, Love,
You shall never feel alone,
It’s small, and you’ve come late,
My Love, but for you I will postpone.
I’ve spent all day, all week and year
Just to meet my bride again
So please wont you come near, Love
And tell me how you’ve been”
Well... This is kind of weird God,
I don’t really see You as my groom,
Aren’t I supposed to get married,
And have some kids, I presume?
“You’ve been my child all your life,
But now I think you know,
That once your earthly life is over,
I’d like you all for my own; It’s a bit uncanny,
Love, but it has been so long...Don’t you remember 
At fourteen, we changed a stone for a cross?”
My God! That was a promise ring,
I told you that I’d wait, 
But now you’re asking for too much--
To marry YOU instead..?
Listen, God, I’ll tell You what,
Why don’t we part for now?
I’ll raise a family of my own, 
We’ll go to church, 
Learn about Your Son
We’ll build a home,
Where others will gather,
We will sing Your songs
But I’m sorry Lord I just can’t 
Marry you now! 
“Don’t worry my dear, And please don’t cry...
I’ve waited a lifetime, I really don’t mind.
I’ll send you a Lover,
And you’ll start a new life,
You’ll have a daughter
And I’ll make her my wife.
Remember, when you’re ready,
That I’ve waited so long,
Since fourteen I have been waiting,
I’ve been singing you my song--
‘Oh how beautiful you are, my darling!
Oh how beautiful you are!’”
Don’t start this now, I can’t bear to hear,
It’s late and I should go,
And I know it’s been a while, but...
Sitting in the silence,
It’s the loudest that it’s been;
See the walls around me
As they’re slowly caving in. 
Only my thoughts surround me,
They are screaming for my Friend
I look up and say a prayer, and I
Tell Him how I’ve been
Not too long till He’s beside me
Calmly whispering---
