Heart broken
Sad beyond words
Despair and anger
Pick at me like birds
I lay in the ashes
Mixed with tears and spit
Swirled dirt and blood
This is where I quit
You left me here
Alone in the world
To drown in this whirling
Pool that you purled
Where’s your spirit
Where’s your strength
Where’s your promise
Past arm’s length
You’re dead
You only live in me
But if I’m numb
What good will there be
I’m at a loss
To know what to do
If something’s done
It’s gotta be you
You’re the only reason for living
So how can I exist
When you’re not here
My fingers crumble from a fist
My head remains unkissed
Erased from some list
What’s the point in this

Beautiful lines! Deep, powerful… I can really feel it.
On another note, I read this chapter in Isaiah yesterday. 🙂
