Soft Spot


I built a wall that no one could really get past. When I met you, I still had my guard up, but something about you, over time, was getting through my guard so easily. You touched a soft spot in my heart that's been hurt so many times. You made me feel heard, seen, and listened to all my random talks. You encouraged me, helped me, and prayed for me in my rough moments. You made me laugh, you made me believe loving a person deeply was possible. I miss the late-night talks, the car rides, blasting music, and the funny and serious talks shared. You opened up a soft spot in my heart, but what I didn't know was that several months later, after waiting for what felt like forever, that soft spot, after 7 months, got hurt, and now the trust is broken. I am scared of falling for someone only to get hurt all over again.

Just tryna' write poetry that always glorifies God and who He is, what he has done for me, and what He can and will do for you! If God can transform my life, I know without a doubt he can transform yours too! You are NEVER too far gone, or broken for God! Come to Jesus just as you are and give your life to him and watch the change happen when you turn to Jesus and live for Him!! Being a Christian is never easy, just as life isn't easy, but our only hope is in Jesus Christ the one and only!!
