Letter to my Lord

Lord,
Things are unbearable.
I have been shouting.
I have been crying.
Hoping you would listen.
Have you been listening?
To anything I’ve said?
Have you seen the tears as down my face they have slid?
Can you see,
can you hear,
my pain?
 
Lord,
My heart hurts.
I am loosing one thing after another.
It is so frustrating!
Why have you not answered me?
I have fallen,
and fallen,
and all I can do now is kneel here,
parched,
with no more tears to shed,
afraid to look up.
 
Lord,
Can you help me?
Can you lighten the load I carry?
Please forgive me Lord.
I am so scared.
Scared of what is to come.
Scared of the pain that I carry.
 
Lord,
My heart feels locked,
locked with an ache I can’t soothe.
My life nothing but shattered pieces.
Is there any relief to be found?
I feel alone,
forsaken.
Standing on an edge,
waiting to fall,
broken and thirsty,
at the well where I first found you.
