Speechless.
When you’re tired of praying,
Tired of asking.
Tired of dreaming.
Tired of lacking.

What do you do?
When God won’t listen.
He’s a whisper in your heart.
Is what you’ve been told.

All you have left,
Is the two legs you stand on.
Weak.
They won’t lift you anymore.

Knees read.
Throat sore.
Begging for answers.
Ignored.

Lost in this world.
Abandoned by all you’ve ever known.
An independent dependent.
Restricted by age.

All you’ve ever wanted.
Was to smile.
To genuinely smile.
Happiness.

Something you’ve never known.
Loss, Separation.
Bad health, deterioration.
All you’ve ever known.

Pain embedded so deep in your soul.
No idea how to Love.
To breath.
A sigh of relief.

How are you able to get through each day?
Never knowing.
Never heard.
Waiting on a whisper.
