Glass Rock

People don’t find this easily…

That’s what she tells herself over and over

Like Amy said, “He can only hold her”

But she’s blocked the door to the inside

Where few have entered though many tried

Every night running through his mind

Is the thought of, this time will he?

She longed for the stability of a rock

But when he tries he gets stopped

By a glacier

They went to church together

Heard “You can’t have a testimony

Without first having a test”

He says to himself “But this one is like

Climbing Mount Everest

Or maybe a glacier, sliding down

The closer I get to the top of its height

The faster I’m back on the ground

(Sighs) I just want a bride,

Someone I can walk beside

For the rest of my life

And it was hard getting past

The one

night stands,

I want to walk toward

The One

Every morning beside her say hello

And this time not let her pass me

by”

So he took the stance that since he’s a man

He’s got to take what he gets

Any way he can…

Now as it stands she’s got that wall

Built like a fortress wide and tall

So many others ran but he chose…

To crawl

Under with glass ball in hand

Because for some reason she thinks

It don’t mean a thing

If she ain’t got that ring …

So off they went to make wedding plans…

And into what was meant to be a happy home

Because no one wants to be alone

And she fills it with bright things and big things

And small things…

Then disregards them in him

And he tries as hard as he can to be that good man

Mama had hoped but as he looks over

At her silhouette grabbing her keys and bag

He’s dying to know, but too afraid to ask

Just continues to reach for wine

From an empty glass

Stares longingly at what he believes to be his

Wonders what he really has

She opens the door and sunlight illuminates

What is hers

It don’t mean a thing

If she ain’t got that ring

If only she’d learned how to love first…

Off she goes into the cold day’s air

Knowing when she returns he’ll be waiting there

The women stare when she passes,

Figuring she’s got it all

And she stares back through a glass,

Enclosed in a wall

To protect her, she thinks,

From the perils that surround

Little does she know, the most dangerous

Are those that are found locked within her

It gets hard, but she struggles to learn now

Sometimes the strength of a savior

can melt down
