worship.
my relationship with god
was never really there
i think it’s just the voices
they whispered in my ears
pretty melodies of light
then came you
shiny and gleaming
you came in my favorite shade
of emerald kisses
suddenly i didn’t need
a jesus or holy spirit
just your hand in mine
but that, i never held
only the emptiness
passed from your heart
straight to mine
and i couldn’t even leave
could not enjoy the night
because all that was left
of your moonlight soul
was the hole in my heart
the stars didn’t gleam again
quite like your eyes ever did
About this poem
about the pining of someone after they’ve left and the changing perspective of christian views and self discovery.
