A BROKEN HEART

It’s easy to fall in love.

How wouldn’t you, when all you can think about is Him.

When you close your eyes his face appears

When you walk down the streets your hands are intertwined.

When the wind blows your hair, he tucks it behind your ears,

How will you not fall in love with Him?

He gently bandages the wound on your forehead

The cut on your knee he nurses into a beautiful scar.

The inexplicable smile on your face speaks of secrets unknown.

The trees shade your steps together.

How will you not fall in love with Him?

 Then all that remains is the memories.

You can’t help but wonder where you went wrong.

His presence begins to fade with each passing day.

 His gentle arms are but a memory

His comforting voice speaks from memory

His words of wisdom seem but a routine.

When did this love become A Broken Heart???

Day and night the tears fall without ceasing

The memories hurt more than the actual pain

Wasn’t it meant to be forever?

Had I just misread the gestures for something more?

Is this what A Broken Heart feels like?

If this is how a relationship feels like,

I shouldn’t hold on too tight to love.

If this is how it ends, I should not even let it get close

Is this the relationship we carry with God?

Is this the pain he carries for us, when we break his heart?
