𝐤𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐚 1d

I find these fragments of you,
in places my soul cannot bear.
My mind conceiving a picture of you in every moment, creating stories of you, when you’re not there.
Filling the spaces you left,
the moments where I should most be alive,
I’m dead because of the memories of the past.
Let me free my heart from the shackles of this grief,
to lay aside the love we no longer have.
To pass by these fragments without the longing to make it whole again.

endure

Dark days come, but they too shall pass.
His faithful love will endure forever.

Our hopes and dreams will fail, but our eternal hope will never cease.

He will see us through the darkness, let our eyes be upon Him. He will be with us in the storms until it ends.

May that be enough.

Help us to hold on, until we reach the end.

the birds of winter

in the cold of the winters day,
under the darkened night sky,
when all hope seems lost
and all love gone,
I hear the song of the birds.
it is a sweet melody
that fills my heart as the earth becomes still.
a glorious sound of praise,
a song of peace and stillness
raised up in obedience to the Rock of Ages.
the One who brings comfort when the light seems to have faded away.
yet I will hope,
as the winter birds
that light will shine again
and this too shall pass.

endings/beginnings

You are the God of endings and beginnings.
so thank You, for every thing You bring to completion through the running of its course.
thank You, that if things end, there is hope for new beginnings.

strangers

each day I wait for you
hoping that this will be the day,
when you finally realise
I am worth the fight.
each day I hope, today will be the day
you'll think of me with fondness
and value my heart.
each day, I am disappointed.
disappointed in you
and disappointed in me.
you who knew my heart so well,
could quickly become just a stranger.
each day I wait for you,
hoping you'll return to me, the person you were and the version of me,
you took with you.

Unraveling

"I'm coming apart at the seams,
it's worse than I thought it would be.
But, I've never been happier."

fade

I'd fade into the shadows if I could.
become a reflection that lingers on the waters, that flows along the earth.
to escape the loudness of the world,
and the restlessness of my mind.
to find solace,
to find peace,
to find quiet.
I'd run the distance of the world, if I could.
never stopping anywhere long enough to let my heart be overcome with despair, or love.
but I can't escape the thought,
that if I am just a shadow,
I'll miss out on the substance of being human.
the tangible guilt, sadness, happiness, and grief.
if I am a reflection, how will I touch the ones I love? how will i hold them close to my soul?
how will I bow on my knees and say a prayer to my God?
if I run,
if I escape,
would it be worth it?
