Dear God

And if the heart would just stop
Aching and breaking
And the tears pause mid stream
And the echo of his name cease to ring
In my ears
Would the heavens fall apart?
Is it too much to ask then for some relief-
From this endless grief...

One night last year
I wept
And asked for someone to love
You sent him my way
If it was not meant to be
Why send him
Then take him and give him back
Only to take away again

When shall my heart find peace
You are a jealous God I see-
To rob me of that which I love
So completely
I asked for contentment
And you give it
In him- only to take it all away

Why give
Only to take
Why fill
If you want me empty
Why rekindle
All that was put away
Not desired
And then once desire to have it all
Is reborn
Just take it all
Take it all away

I have no anger left
Even at you
I lay my head down now
No more can I do
I am robbed of it all
Of every bit of strength
Of everything
I lay my head down now
No more can I do

Dear God
Won't you help me through....
