A break-up that feels like the end of everything,
Reminders of them whenever the phone rings,
Choked by a scent of them as you walk the streets,
Your heart suddenly missing a beat,
But nobody knows this,
These are things that are hard to talk about,
Especially when in doubt.
Reflecting on a childhood memory,
Some are bad but it’s all ancient history,
Envying families that seem to have it all,
Wishing it wasn’t so easy to put up walls,
But nobody knows because,
These are things that are hard to talk about,
Especially when in doubt.
That dreaded call, of someone you know,
News that there are no more,
Processing takes a week or so,
Here is another wound to heal,
But nobody knows because,
These are things that are hard to talk about,
Especially when in doubt.
When temptation comes knocking on the door,
You resist opening but you are also peeping to see,
Deceived that you can win,
Suddenly it’s been years of living in sin,
But nobody knows this,
These are things that are hard to talk about,
Especially when in doubt.
Then there is this friend closer than any other,
He asks you to bring all things to Him,
Give all to me, He pleads,
The weight becomes lighter as you release,
Alas! Someone knew,
You can now talk about hard things,
Jesus is already in it!
Oh! the freedom this brings!
