Where Are You? by Jacqui Reed

Where Are You?

by Jacqui Reed

I thought you were our defender

our refuge, our rock.

You said you would be here

where are you?

my enemies are closing in,

the hurt, the fear, the past,

where is my defender?

how long will this last?

how can I survive when you take away my sunshine?

the rain is falling

and Lord I'm calling,

Where are you?

I tumble down into the abyss

of despair, anger, & pain so deep.

how many hours must I call out? how many nights without sleep?

Where are you?

How long will I go unheard?

How long will I have to cry?

Where are you?

Tears are streaming,

my mind is screaming, my body is shaking,

my heart is breaking,

Where are you?

Soon I will have fallen away

into a pit so deep and black

So far fallen, I can't get back.

I'm lost in this world of dark pain,

I lay in a ball, a wounded animal

my heart beats ever so slowly

as I whimper my last thoughts.

My God, My God...

Where are you?
