Tasting Fire

Touch the coal to my lips.

Kill me or send me.

I now know I'm capable of everything You said.

 

If words could kill, I'm the culprit.

Hatred is so easy (for me.)

What has gone in has not defiled me,

But what has come out has defiled me and everyone else.

 

I am undone.

For I know the evil I am capable of.

And now, in Your presence, can I stand in Your mercy?

Or do I dare ask?

For You know me better than I do.

 

You see the depths of my heart.

And yet You've loved me all the same.

Symbolic on many levels. Great work.

I love this one. My favorite of your two tonight. The first stanza is really really powerful. And I adore the first line.
