...and For You I Wept.

 

…and for you I wept.

 

O Lord, My God, I never want to feel thus again.

My heart screams in my breast.

My eyes burn from the ever-running tears.

I ache, Father-God, how I ache.

What fire does flow in my veins?

Does she feel the same as I?

I know not and may never.

Such anguish washes over me.

Tide endless of pain and sorrow.

I dread each moment waking without her.

Fear each moment of her in my dream-filled slumber.

O Lord, My God, I never want to feel thus again.

Time runs shorter and shorter.

My soul yearns for her and she comes not.

Dear God, take from me the grief that fills my soul.

Never love it come again.

Bring her unto me, Lord, I pray.

For I never want to feel thus again.

I loved this. Found myself reading it in my head and yelling at certain parts and turning down into whispers toward the end. Very powerful.

Here I am, reading this poem again. The same poem that brought me to this site. That brought me to discover you, my friend. It's just so haunting. I absolutely love it!
