In the calm
and quiet
I see you.

You call my name
beckoning me
to be in your arms.

Underneath the moon,
the stars and galaxies
you call upon me.

“Trust me”
you say with
reassurance.

How can I?
When the gaping hole
within me grows.

Left there by
betrayal after betrayal
never fully healing.

I am a scared
wounded child
desiring a reprieve.

“Trust me”
you say with
sincerity.

As I lie naked,
cold and dying
in the dark

How long can I
dwell in my
sorrow?

If you are the savior
I need in my life?
Prove it and don’t let go.

For I am through
with empty promises
and broken hearts.
