Tough Times

All this hurt inside

I've learned to hide so well

Trying to forget it

Burying it deep..

But when i'm in the dark

Alone 

It all wells up

My heart is torn

I feel so empty

So comepletely alone

When i pray,

I hear no reply-

Why aren't You by my side?

Hearing my cries?

I sob into my pillow

Are You still a part of me?

I feel so small

The tears aren't washing away the hurt..

In this wasteland

I was told to trust the Unseen-

I know You're invisible,

But I need assurance

In my pain;

I need Your Love;

I need to feel Your arms holding me

Until the pain is gone..

Then I hear a Voice

In my head-

Somehow I can listen

I feel His hands

Fixing my heart

Holing my soul..

He is here

Right beside me

Why do I doubt?

I know I'm safe
