Torn

(I wrote this poem almost 10 years ago... the cycle continues... new faces. Same old lesson yet unlearned.)


I’m torn between my love for you
And what I feel for him
My soul is troubled
And my heart is wrenched within
No sin has been committed
Because commitment isn’t there
But the fire that burns within
Could strip a spirit bare

If you were more than just a brother
If he were less than just a friend
There would be no struggle
And this tug-o-war would end
I laugh with you but I’m drawn to him
And to the Spirit that dwells in you both
You’re the one that’s changed my life
But he’s the one who’s gotten close

Sometimes I think it’s not a choice
A road I choose to take
But God melts two hearts as one
A decision He has made

Still I am torn between my love for you
And what I feel for him
And I pray with all my strength
That this that this won’t turn into sin
