Shadowcat

Jesus talks in red
 To separate the things He said
 Every night I read
 And memorized the famous parts
 Just before I'd go to bed
 All the rest appeared in black
 As the authors recalled
 The best they could while looking back
 So careful not to confuse
 The difference between the two
 Don't speak for Him
 He won't speak for you
 You can try, but you won't pin this on me
 You were broken before we came to be
 Don't you dare claim to know what He wants for you
 You stopped by to talk
 Suggesting that we take a walk
 Then you delivered the news
 The reasons that you gave amazed
 I wished they'd heard the quotes you'd used
 After all the time we spent
 Dodging pressure to bend
 How could this be heaven sent?
 And the church we passed by
 For three years I tried
 But couldn't bear to set foot inside
 Ten years on
 I think the anger's finally gone
 Since then I've learned
 To separate the things He said
 From all the phrases you have turned
 Now it's clear that we just weren't meant to be
 But not for reasons you gave me
