Smoke Rising
Pain scrapes against my heart
As I listen...
And no one is there
Inexplicably, smoke rises upward
A life of lies and ruin
I turn and suddenly you are there
It's as if Christ heard
My cries...
But only for one moment
For months cold has seeped
Into my bones
And I curl into a ball
Seeking warmth
Covers wrapped and tucked...
The sudden brush of a thigh
That is not there
Startled awake...
I forget the emptiness
That has invaded
My life
And my soul
Seeking solace
In forbidden places...
And my heart begins
To feel again
Stirrings of emotions
Going places
That I should not go
Unable to stop...
I turn to Christ
But there is no answer
My prayers cry out
To no one
And I long for what
I can never have.

you write amazingly <3
He is exactly who you need to turn to. And yes, greta words, "turn to" because he is right there with you.
You have been in my thoughts and I’m really sorry you are going through this hard time right now.
You are such a resilient woman; always remember how very strong you are.
I hope you feel better soon <3
*hugs*
