What about me

Love unconditional
Acceptance 
Understanding 

Looking for it in places it can't be found
Only offered with conditions
Expectations 
Theirs not mine

Fit the mold
Do what they think is right

Don't even try to understand my reasons
my whys 

Still being broken 
Still being wounded 

Ones I'm supposed to trust
To count on
Can't be

Don't I even matter
My hurts
My heart
My mind

Move on

faith?

faith
trust
believe 

i do
i don't 

i want to

help my unbelief 
words earnestly spoken
heart's cry

help me trust You
help me have faith in You
help me to believe You

i want to
more than anything

want to trust You
with my life
with my heart
with my deepest desires

help my unbelief

The shadow

Divorce creates an emptiness... A void

There was someone there
Then there is not. 

Trying to find someone to fill the void. Who will fit? 
I try one or the other. 
No. 
No.

Try to ignore it. 
Try to pretty it up with things, friends.

Doesn't change it. 
Still an empty place. 
Like a shadow. 
Following me around. 
Never letting me forget. 

Alone. 
Empty.

Once Again

Once Again
          I tried to fill the empty space with something else.

Once Again
          I didn't look to You

Once Again
          I have tears and sadness

Once Again
          I see my need for You

Once Again
           I cry out for You to fill me

Once Again
           You remind me of Your Presence

Once Again
          You remind me of Your Love

Once Again
          You are there

Here we are.... Once Again
