April 5--I Know

I know there's nothing good
In desperate, foolish fears.
I know the useless waste
Of passing time in tears.
I know I'm not my feelings;
My worth's not found in this.
I know my heart is aching
For the comfort of your kiss.
I know for what I'm longing.
I know the silence grows.
I feel like you ignore me
As my spirit overflows.
I feel like you disdain
My weakness and mistrust.
Were you to cast me off now,
Your decision would be just.
I feel alone, unnoticed,
But my feelings come and go.
I can't rest in emotions:
I must rest in what I know.
I know that you are for me.
My freedom you've bespoken.
I can know I'm not alone because
You don't disdain the broken.



postscript
What you feel is not always true. What is the truth about God? "Trusting your heart" does not always work if it makes you rely on emotions instead of what you know to be true.
