A Silent Prayer

I say a silent prayer hoping you can hear all the things I didn’t say to you before. Forgive me for waiting oh so long, love- For I am but a woman who longs to hold you so tight the mountains crumble to the deep and crystal clear sea. If you needed the light, I’d rope the sun- If you needed tears, I’d cry an ocean. I say a silent prayer hoping I too can hear just what I need to hear to let you go. Release all the guilt and shame of feeling I failed you beyond life’s comprehension. For I am but a woman who craves your tenderness... and maybe, just maybe through our Lord I can feel your embrace envelope me. If you needed darkness, I’d give you some space- If you needed freedom, I’d try to let you go. I say a silent prayer hoping we can hear each other through all the love only Christ can bestow. Please know, I never abandoned you, but I just didn’t think I could save you anymore than I already tried. For I a but a woman starving for your adoration- someone who still needs you by my side. If you needed faith, I’d beg the Lord for hope- If you needed me more, I’d give you my very all. These are the things I knew you needed- yet I failed you in ways that couldn't be rescued. I say a silent prayer hoping you can hear… March 6, 2019
