hole in chest
by Charri Hensley on Tuesday, 28 September 2010
in this life there are things that cause you pain.
Not like a mashed finger or a car crash,
But real deep emotional pain.
the stuff nightmares can be made of.
letting go of love,
seeing someone you care for die,
finding out you have been let down.
this is what it means to live.
this is how we know we are still breathing,
a pain that comes and does not go quickly,
a pain that will leave a hole in your chest.
A hole that only you and God can see.
A hole that nothing fits into.
we look for things to fill it,
we stuff and cram, we bend and flex,
yet there it is !
HOLE! In CHEST!
frozen by loss,
loss that comes from pain,
pain that comes from hurt,
hurt that comes from anger,
yet nobody sees.
