why do You love me so?

intrinsically taciturn
i look to You for friendship and guidance
ashamed at my lame attempts
to truly talk to You
hollow conversations
meaningless monotony
of dully reiterated complaints and empty praises
yet You endure it all
with patience i could never perceive
compassion that would never waver
in the silence of the night
Your gentle whispers in the darkness
reverberate to all the corners of my heart
Your soothing words
comfort me
encourage me
inspire me
i put my hope in You alone
i take my strength from You
Your sweet voice calling to me
takes away every anguish and pain
you infuse within me your fathomless love
ever deep and unconditional love
i can’t comprehend the depths of Your devotion
Your love for me despite my failures
in spite of the countless times
i’ve broken Your heart
turned my back on You in betrayal
cut You off from my life
obstructed the portal to my heart
refusing to face You, to look in Your eyes
but You don’t take Your eyes off me
You won’t give up on me ever
why do You love me so?
