Hollow Love

Contributed by dingoku on Sunday, 8th September 2002 @ 10:28:35 AM in AEST
Topic: ChristianPoetry

frigid wind nips away at my ears and nose
but i don’t notice

all i see are the endless stars
all i feel are the glowing waves of warmth
emanating from the angel beside me

steam from the lake dances with the moonlight
as she snuggles closer to escape the night’s chilling touch

my thin, frail voice
seeming so distant, prays to her
asking so politely for her love

hearing these words
her face beams
lighting up the night

we hold out our pale, quivering hands
and make the exchange
my heart for hers

kneeling, we pray together

Father…guide us
help us to never lose sight of your love
keep us in your presence
help us to always put You first
give us strength

hollow...meaningless…words…
but that’s what we’re supposed to do…right?

*four months later*

i lie in a pool of my own crimson blood
my innocence
wasted

shredded and torn
my wretched heart lies where she dropped it
struggling desperately to keep beating

she gave me her heart, but not her love
she deceived me
angel…from Hell

and what cuts through my soul
like a million, blunt knives...

i did the same to her

we hid from our Father in dark corners
in gloom
in sin

Oh God…please forgive me
Father…please help me
i know, i know
all i need is You
Your love
this is so hard
all i want to do is lie down and cry
it is so hard, forcing myself to get up and do what needs to be done
it takes practically everything i have to keep from breaking down
never have i cried so much over anything before…
…ever
i know, i know...
i just need to wait
i don’t know what for yet…
but it is so hard
i’m so tired of living a lie
i’m not fit to run my own life Father
show me the way
God…
give me strength

I roll over
pick up the pieces of My broken heart
and raise them
to the Son

but He is already there beside Me
lifting Me up
wiping My tears

and I know now
that He always has been…
and always will.

This is very beautiful, well written.
Great job.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
