What could express
This cold wind of betrayal
Lacerating my soul
As everything in me reels
At her words?
What could express
All my dreams
Tattered and shattered
Falling into the chasm opening within me
At her words?
What could express
My inner despair
At her seeming treachery
The theft of future
At her words?
No words for her words
No words for my broken heart
No words…
God in my wordless suffering
Show me the way.
