A Watered Soul

This is the heartbeat in the broken place

Where I feel like nothing more than wasted space

This is the exhale of years of torment and pain

Where I cry more tears than words can explain

This is the grip of my unending sorrow

Where I lose faith and hope for a better tomorrow

This is the skeleton of a life terribly short-lived

Where I find no strength or power to forgive

This is the scar of sin done by my own hands

Where I am caught in shame that too many understand

This is the Grace of Love stronger than hell

Where I am cured and forgiven and made well

This is the sigh of a watered soul

Where I am finally made into someone whole

no words to describe this on my part, but I would love your thoughts on it. :)
