Behind The Holy Door

It's a scene that depicts not innocence.
It's what really goes on behind the holy door.
It's everything and nothing at all.
It's yesterday wronged forevermore.

It's the secret you carry in your pocket,
A burden of a sin deflected to be theirs and mine.
It's a topic left abandoned and untouched.
It's the drawing of the moral line.

It's the saving of a broken soul,
That's the manipulation of truth to your lies.
It's the business that matters to no one,
Despite all of the wheres and whys.

The story at times has been changed.
Even the timeline has been modified.
Vows that teeter on an unbalanced foundation
Continue to weaken you as the glorified.

It's corruption we sleep through each night.
It's a topic we fight to keep out of the news.
Yet to share in confession and reconciliation,
Will release us from the lies turned to truth.

It's a scene that will depict hurting wounds.
It's what will no longer go on behind the holy door. 
It's everyone and everything at all.
It's tomorrow made right forevermore.

Loneliness is a Mirror

I have been looking for it
The redemption in the brokenness
That seems to shadow your life
To understand the reasons
Behind your actions and decisions
I have been seeing it
The secrets you can't hide
Whispering in the wind
Covering up the cold truth
Trapped within your conscience
I have been hating it
The lies that shape your being
A lonely soul clinging to false hope
Avoiding the mirror
That recognizes what it doesn't want to see
