Between Us

Sitting in Silence

Sitting in silence is where you’ll find me…

Overwhelming thoughts circulating in my head.

The tapes that just keep rewinding,

Leaving little room for much else to be said.

My heart stops just before it breaks…

Picking up the pieces of what’s left,

Gluing them back together with my Faith in the One

Who promises to heal me.

Sitting in silence is where you’ll find me…

Concentrating on breathing,

Reminding myself to go on living,

Telling myself to remember to smile, to laugh and get up.

I don’t like the new me that I’ve become,

No longer wanting to be left alone.

The broken pieces of my heart fall again and surround me,

I return to my Faith in the One who promises to heal me.

Sitting in silence is where you’ll find me…

Day after day, month after month passes,

Viewing the new me though different glasses.

Trying to come into focus,

What do I see?

Sadly, broken, overwhelming Me!

Sitting in silence is where you’ll find me…

Relying on the One who promised to heal me!

I promise that I am doing really well on most days.  I do wonder how long the grieving process will continue, although I'm pretty sure that a small part of me will be broken for some years to come.
