Painfully, drop by bitter drop I feel
The dark deception of your words
When you try to pretend to still care
And yes, I will let you, hurt me again
Scar my soul deep from bitterness
I will heal- one day, because I can
As you run away from the truth inside
That the source of your pain- is not I-
But a bleeding and broken-hearted ghost
Consumed by those screaming echoes
We left behind, unspoken and unsettled
From the love we lost…growing our own way

Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths

Whispers of a poet's heart 
“As you run away from the truth inside” – We often do that and blame someone else for the pain. Love this one
