untitled

are you strong enough to hold me, Jesus?
Because I’m falling so fast
and wishing I was made for more
than this daily living in loss and
pain so overwhelming, too often does it take
control and I lose myself
to something no one knows exists
but you, because you have eyes that see beyond the world’s
and I break to a million fragile pieces
stepped on and crushed because
I am not strong enough to stand on my own
and these tears
I know so well, becoming part of me
again, when I thought hope lingered still
be near me, Jesus, because your love
quenches the deepest thirst of this weary body
gives life
to my tired mind and empty spirit
wash away my humanness
make me yours again.
