"Broken Hearted"  
November 12, 2001 12:08 a.m.

She said the words...
that pierced my heart...
as like a knife ripping the flesh away...
pain courses through my body...
making the nerves dance
at ever slash she has to say...
Will I hate...will I forgive...
will I live to play another day...
will I cry....will I die...
will anyone else ever hear me say?

I love you...I want you...will you be mine to...
I need you...I miss you...will you be mine true...

I turned my back...
I walked away...
I left him hanging there at the altar of grace...
I refused see...
didn't want to believe...
that I crushed his heart the very same way...
She broke mine...I wasn't fine...
How does he feel about being betrayed...
He did die...now he cries...
and I wonder if I'll ever hear him say...

I love you...I want you...will you be mine to...
I need you...I miss you...will you be mine true....

I see his grace...
wash over me like a breaking ocean wave...
He wraps his loving arms around me...
I am safe in his embrace...
as a prodigal returns home in the filth of his disgrace...
the father only sees...
the eyes pouring out remorse and he gently says...

I love you...I want you...will you be mine to...
I need you...I miss you...will you be mine true...

You are mine my son...
the apple of my eye...
can't you see my love...
in every sunrise...
I sing to you always, with the wind...
I paint a portrait just for you at every sunset...
can't you see my treasure in the starry night sky...
if you listen for my voice I'll sing you a gentle lullaby...

I love you...I want you...You are mine to...
I need you...I have you...You are mine true...

God's voice has a melodic way of healing the broken hearted.  I too have suffered heartache and have also been priviledged to hear God's voice comfort my spirit in knowing in part His sufferings for me and for all that have turned away.  We do rejoice when we have the opportunity to share in God's sufferings.  God bless you.  -Bob

A great love poem!  So elequently, you've drawn the correlation between our personal hurts, and how hurt Jesus has been by our rejection or indifferences. Thank you for sharing this.

J; I am so sorry for the pain you are feeling...In my life I have found that those i love will hurt me as I will fail them in my human frailty, But My Lord is ever faithful and ever true is His Love! Hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Thanks everyone for the posts...I greatly appreciate them...but do not fear...this poem isn't about any pain I truly feel. It was just a theme that I got started on when I was talking to a younger friend about his song writing and it just took off from there...(((hugs))) back to all of you and to you dove...Happy Turkey Day back...

J~
