tears

watch
choke down, swallow.
dry-eyed, the pain pools inside
tears are a weakness
i must be strong.

no emotion. only blackness.

watch
there is no escape.
my blood weeps on my behalf.
tears are a weakness
i must be strong.

no hope. only fear.

watch
as the veins feel like burning ice.
i will not let you in.
tears are a weakness
i must be strong.

blackness. and only despair.

--

watch
as a Hand reaches past the darkness
to cradle my heart.
love embraces and warms this frozen soul
i weep.

only hope.

watch
the Eyes of forgiveness
pierce through insecurities and fears.
"I am forever here for you" they say.
i weep.

only love.

watch
the hands of God working
"I am your strength" they say.
i give You my burdens.
i rest.

only joy.

--

know
the tears He shed for my pain
He sweat tears of blood,
how His blood flowed like rivers
on my behalf.
it was all for Love.

only peace.



see salvation.
experience Jesus.
