Love Me in the Dark.

Love me in the darkest places of my heart
Where polite niceties disappear
And what is left are crude, evil thoughts
That ought not see the light of day

Love me when I am weak
When I cave into my basest desires
And show a side of me
The world will never accept

Love me for things unknown
The parts of me that lie hidden
Underneath the rainbows and smiles
Things I am afraid disclose

Love me for my failures
When my heart calls out to you
Yet shrinks back in fear
Because it recognises its ugliness

Love me in spite of
My brokenness
My neediness
My hopelessness

When I am unlovable
That is when I need you to love me most

Love me.… Read more

To the Husband I Never Had.

All those nights living without you taught me to surrender my heart to God.  But it has taught me something else.  It taught me to give you up.

I had come face to face with the reality that you were never mine.  … Read more

Broken.

Every once in a while, God brings me back to a place that I’d rather forget.  A past hurt, an old wound, or a deep regret that I thought was resolved, but apparently was just buried under other pleasanter memories.

And so it comes to a point where I have to face old demons that I thought I had slain long ago.  … Read more
