The doors slam shut,
They let go,
I’m all alone.
I’m given back my heart,
Don’t know how I’ll make it now.
They said they’re in love,
But now they’re not
Stabbed my back,
Left me to rot.
How am I supposed to trust
That I’ll make it through this day?
How can I laugh now,
When they tear through what I say?
You’re a liar,
You’re a thief,
You’re a sinner,
Not who you used to be.
Is this really me?
Is this really me?!
But then I look at the stars.
I can see how you moved each one.
Are you really here, when you only feel so far?
You whisper yes.
You hold me tight.
Tell me to hold your hand.
Please take me through the night.
I can’t make it on my own,
I need for you to help me,
I don’t want to feel alone.
You don’t make me feel alone.
Nearly everyone I trust
Has hurt me in some way.
The ones I love the most,
Turned tail, and ran away.
If I’m supposed to give up,
Just like they did today,
Then why keep pressing on?
What’s to live for, anyway?
How can I love again?
How can I trust again?
How can I live again?
When will I hurt again?
Is this really me?
Is this really me?!
But then I look at the stars.
I can see how you moved each one.
Are you really here, when you only feel so far?
You whisper yes.
You hold me tight.
Tell me to hold your hand.
Please take me through the night.
I can’t make it on my own,
I need for you to help me,
I don’t want to feel alone.
You don’t make me feel alone.
I’ve been so busy counting
All the times I’ve known to bleed
When I’ve forgotten all the times
You have stood by me.
The blessings triple the pain,
You’ve given so much for my gain,
I’m so ungrateful, you’ve always seen.
So thank you, Jesus, for saving me.
Now I can look at the stars.
I can see how you moved each one.
Can you really move my life?
Can I see what all you’ve done?
You whisper yes.
You hold me tight.
I've grasped your hand.
You’ve always been there in the night.
I can’t make it on my own,
I need for you to help me,
I don’t want to feel alone.
But now I’ll never be alone.
Cause Jesus, I love you
I love you.
I love you.
And you smile.

That was beautiful.
I hope you don't think I have any bitterness for you.
I'm sorry we left so many things unsaid, but maybe it's for the best.
God is moving in my life, and I see he is moving in yours, too.
For that I can be thankful.
Your brother in Christ
Emma,
I can only agree - that was beautiful. Thanks for giving us all a little peek into your life through your writing!
Praying for you. Love ya!

I hope you're keeping all of your poetry in a notebook for later years - to look back upon and see your growth when you thought things were at their darkest.
This poem is well done and soul-baring. And through the hurt it ends up positive. Praying for you,
Rita
Hey Emma...
Great as always. You are talented.
Isn't it fun to have fun at make money at the same time? Don't ever plan on getting a job you don't enjoy. It makes life boring!
It's too bad I don't live closer to Texas... I just started picking up the harmonica. It's a simple instrument, but it would go lovely with the keyboards and guitars etc.

See? I do read your blog! And...I have come up with a new way for girls and guys to deal with each other.
Girls should hit guys whenever they are at all bad. I so think that would help lots of things.
Yeah i heard others have that same view...you are not alone lol but here is what i don't get:
McCain is 100% pro-life, 100% pro-war, for tax cuts and private health care. Sure he's a moderate, but i don't quite understand why ppl think he is similar to Dems on any of the keys issues.
Just to brighten your day, I tagged you. Rules are at my blog!
