Fall from grace...

I have taken a tumble
Fallen, long and quite hard
Stumbled from grace...
Not in God's eyes, whatever such meaning shall have
nor in yours so kindly blurred
But in the most wretched vision, lives
My grace within
And the broken shards of glass
Imbedded so deeply into my soul
Are beyond removal by mortal's hands
No surgeon can save this lost
This desensitized and scarred woman
What if there is no power greater than one's ego?
Yes, oh, have I fallen from grace
In the eyes of my own reflection...
And that, my fine friend
Cannot be fooled or tricked
By deception or manipulation
Which works so well on foolish men!
I fear that I shall never walk
Never hold myself in esteem again
My posture is broken and my questions
Forever unanswered, have fallen far
Away and unforseen, fallen now, perhaps
Forever from grace,
The grace of my own cheating heart...
