Unknown to Me

Why can't I feel you,
Everyone else does,
Why can't I hear you voice,
Are you the one everyone loves?

If you really died for my soul,
Why do I feel so alone,
I am charred and hollow inside,
I am cut down to the bone.

Salvation is just a word,
It has no meaning to me,
Not this triumphant message of joy,
That everyone else sees.

You have to believe in something,
I say that is right,
But I cannot lead my heart to anything,
Or I will be lost in the night,

I have to believe by choice,
That choice is not meant to be,
I need something tangible to put faith in,
Nothing of substance has been showed to me,

The Bible you say is living proof,
Of this powerful and commanding being,
To me that doesn't do it,
For me reading is not seeing,

Every religion has a holy book,
What makes ours so great,
To debate this for all eternity,
Seems my destined fate.

You see my predicament,
Please hear my plea,
Anyone who can and does read this,
Just save me!
