jesus
i wept with you
how can you deny me now
do you remember
sitting in the corner
all alone
sobbing
face in hands
praying
that I would send someone over
to hug you
to talk
to pray
i answered you
i sent him
he told you
God is weeping with you
you knew I was
i cried your tears that night
you and me weeping
over your pain
you deny me now
you turn and run
to something better
i cannot stop you
nor for lack of power
i cannot forsake the beauty of the gospel
for the pain i feel over you
every other human
come back home
my son
there is a place for you here
you have fallen
i am here
come broken
come as you are
the door is always open
whoever you are
listen to me
i have loved you
whoever reads this
just as i have loved the author of this poem
i am approachable
try me and see
you reject me?
what have i done
