GRIEF OUT LOUD

GRIEF OUT LOUD

I cry out loud, but no ears can hear me.

I scream into my pillow to hide my pain.

I am protected by the walls I built.

At times, I see a picture of hope.

But when I reach for it

I find that it’s only a negative.

I do not know where to go or what I feel

I have no place to run or even if I can.

I am alone.

I am afraid.

I am trapped inside the eye of my storm

Paralyzed~`°•▪︎

Help me please,

God

I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU ONE LAST TIME

I didn’t want you to go

I wanted to be there with you

I wanted to hold you because you were all alone

I wanted to tell you how much I loved you

And how everything was going to be alright

I wanted to tell you about the special place

That you always held in my heart

I wanted to tell you how beautiful you were

And how God set you apart

I wanted to tell you how your smile

Made my heart smile too

I wanted to hold you in my arms while you were going home

I wanted to see your beautiful face

One last time

I wanted to hold you so you wouldn’t be afraid

I wanted to kiss your cheek and wipe your tears away

But I couldn’t

Because God took you home

In the middle of the night

I just wanted to tell you that

I loved you

One last time…
