I say I love You.
But my actions aren't lining up.
My heart isn't following.
Follow.
Please follow.

This brokenness
Is tiring.
These tears
Are overwhelming.

Show me.
What You think.
See.
Feel.
I want it too.
Everything.
All of it.
I need the weight
Of Your love for me.
I need it.

Open my eyes.
Soften my heart.
Hear my desperation.
See my loneliness.
Heal my pain.
Please Lord.

My mind is paralyzing.
The lies.
The doubt.
The imbalance.
I'm wearing myself down.
I'm tired.
Scared.
Proud.

Kendall, your poem has gripped my heart. I want to fall on my face. "I need the weight of Your love for me." It's real; it's direct yet flows gracefully, boiling down to single words at the end. Pride...Yes, the root of it all! "Jesus, keep me near the cross."
Bless you for sharing, for baring your soul that others might live.
