wandered off the path
took the slippery slope downwards
gave my heart over to idols
forsook the love I chrished
drawn by fools gold
chasing an illusive dream

empty, dillusional, numbed
got hurt pursuing roads that led no where
took back my life into my hands
lost it in the process
lost, broken, an empty shell

grace, amazing, uncalled for
He came after this prodigal son
took me into His arms again
tended to my wounded soul

am i an ingrate?
how long before my restless heart stops wandering away?
such a fool
forsaking all that mattered
unwilling to return
how much more must i get burnt?
