In the dark

In the dark, I am lost

In the dark, I am found.

My heart is cracked wide open, filled

with longing and despair.

The path I tread has been ripped from beneath

my feet. Leaving me floundering in this strange new land.

All that I thought, and all that I knew are

gone. Leaving a gaping hole, wide and bare.

The tears come so fast, they flood my soul with sadness,

tears of pain, of hurt, of longing for something that  is no more.

My heart searches for that which it knew, clinging

blindly to the one who harmed.

For even in heartbreak, our heart still loves

Doesn’t know it’s time to let go.

In the dark, I am broken

In the dark, I am whole.
