2 Corinthians 12:9
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. ” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.


if you were here
your breath would brush against my cheek
a warm autumn breeze
“come home to me”
the need in your voice
is enough to make my heart shatter
into the miniscule pieces
you had once mended
“please come home”
the desire I feel
stretches out in front of me
vast,
magnifying,
covering up my reasons for staying
my voices rises
reluctantly
up my throat
“home is where the heart is
and my heart
is no longer yours”
lost promises,
never kept,
unseen hope,
I am left
without it all
for
I
am
still
here.
