My Thoughts and Poetry

~ Hurt ~

🌹

In the shadows of months, my world fell apart,
I sought solace, a balm for my aching heart.
Tears flowed freely, fears whispered their call,
Longing for arms to catch my soul’s fall.

But then, in silence, the world spun around,
In your absence, not even an echo of sound.
You chose to leave, to let me be,
While my world crumbled quietly beneath me.

“Do you understand?” my heart’s voiceless plea,
As I bore the weight, setting you free.
Words echoed, hollow, and promises broke,
A dwindling hope in every word you spoke.

No apology could mend what was torn,
Yet I held onto words, brittle and worn.
Explanations withheld, truths left undone,
Closure a ghost that could not be won.

I whispered “Goodbye,” to ease your guilt’s strain,
Knowing my pain you’ll never contain.
Did I err in some way, was I not enough?
These thoughts, relentless, shadows so tough.

Tears painted my cheeks, yet strength found its way,
I will not beg, nor plead, but quietly sway.
For in missing you there’s a lesson to learn,
A chapter now ended, a new page to turn.

Perhaps there’s a reason for this path we’ve crossed,
In God’s grand design, nothing ever is lost.
If you were meant, you’d not cause me strife,
An angel would nurture, would cherish this life.

I asked of the heavens, “Why does it sting so?”
“When will this torment, these sorrows, go?”
A voice divine, a whisper of grace,
“Endure the ache, for in Me find your place.”

And then, when the hurt seemed infinite and deep,
A new angel emerged, a promise to keep.
In divine comfort, I found release,
In God’s gentle hands, my heart found peace.
