Yet It Remains.

It is not evil or even wrong,
but I know it cannot stay.
It has caused me such joy,
but I know I must let it go.
And yet it remains.

I have asked the only One who can,
To take it away from me.
I have begged the Almighty,
To root it out of me.
But yet it remains.

I have cut myself off,
From its source.
I have removed everything,
That might remind me.
But yet it remains.

I have embraced it fully,
Hoping for the best.
But that only lasts a while,
Before I return to the truth.
And yet it remains.

I have puffed out my chest,
In false bravado.
I have collapsed to my knees,
In tearful prayer.
But yet it remains.

What else might I do,
To remedy or cure it?
Embrace it or deny it,
I cannot escape it.
And yet it remains.
