I'm crumbling
You, my strong tower
protect me
from faulty feelings
my heart falling apart beneath my feet
I'm spiraling out of control
I'm no longer myself
I can't control my thoughts
I am choking
I am blind
I am ashamed
to touch your face
I'm consumed
I don't feel as if I'm worthy
of your love
My strong tower, out of my grasp
Will you come and rescue me
be the beacon of reasoning
be the light in the darkness
I want to whither in your arms
and die in your eyes
Bring me back to life
Resurrect my faith
I'm dead in this world
Dead to my friends
Dead to the ones I love
Dead to me
I am dying to live
and living to die
to be rescued by you, my strong tower

The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.

Kris,

I think your poetry shows your strength and beauty.  I think it shows your emotion and compassion. I think it shows you.  And I like what I see.

There is such strength in this vulnerability. Amazing.

I'm reeling from the intensity of your plea ~ the power of your words.

You sure know how to stir the emotions of your readers with emotive, spiritual poems such as this. You're an amazing writer.

No matter what befalls you in life, your strength and faith pull you through the troubled waters. As you know, God and His angels are always with you.
