Dear Lord,
I
Have
been
Pulled at the edges my being
Tested through the mountains without seeing
What I am without you

The water ripples around my thighs
Coaxing me in deeper
Releasing all my ties
I know I will always be a seeker

The answers I find
Are tested in time
Tugged at my binds
Still humming those hymns

My spirit becomes burdened
My heart stops thumping
I find myself confronting
The only one I'd be hunting
And realized, I bit off more than I could chew

I was the huntress and you my trophy
I'd found you, and you'd be with me always
My soul would hold you closely
I'd never find myself lonely
Until I rose slowly
To face the answers that questioned my faith

Running became the only thing I knew
So I set you in a box
And hoped my tears flew

With a rope, I carried you with me
The huntress became the hunted
I always thought we could just be
But my faith became blunted

More questions arose
I was tripped back
Blow by blow

A step back showed me where I stand
In my ignorance and arrogance I forgot who you were
I forgot what you had planned
And left myself to be damned

In all my soul searching
I lost myself, and I forgot about you
I wanted and lost it when I lost you

I am sorry
Amen
