Poem

[LilMissNiles]

Nails pierced your skin.
My laughter and joy rings.
A crown of thorns seer your forehead.
My smile extends from ear to ear.
Your back is torn from the whip.
I skip and run without care.
You suffocate.
I sigh.

How can I be so ignorant
And You so willing?
Why is it I am so undeserving
But You are the One to die?
What is this love
So great and unconditional
That nothing, not even death, can
Hold you back from saving one
Sole selfish, rude, ignorant child?

Your head hangs low.
Mine sinks into my hands.
Your arms are opened wide.
Mine are lifted up.
Your eyes, closed.
My eye lids silently fold.
Tears dry on your face.
Mine gently sweep my cheek.
Yours are filled with pain, undying love,
Selflessness, and eternal joy.
Mine hold heavy pain, grief, and
The proof of a broken heart.

It’s too hard to understand,
Too painful to ignore,
Too great to hide inside.
You’re dead, but
My heart pulses with Your
Ever present joy that settles
In my soul forever more.

I really like it. Reminds me of a poem I penned last week, about a broken heart.
