Fearing the stillness – v2

some nights, in the darkness
in the still sanctuary
I feel you, Lord
but I hasten, quickly,
to the door, the exit,
not lingering in the dark
fearing the stillness
afraid for what you might say
if I stayed, if I listened,
if you spoke out loud
in the silent darkness
if you came down from the glass
and confronted me
speaking directly to me
wanting to conform my steps
but knowing how often I fall
