Goodbye Jesus

This Dance

Recommended Posts

I wrote this for a friend whose boyfriend died in a car accident, two years ago. She was wrestling with her faith at the time... and this was my way of seeing her pain, through her eyes.



This Dance



Falling in the dark

Stumbling

Unable to catch my balance



Swaying to the distant melodies

We drip with anticipation

Hungry, but unfed



This wild ride

That winds around

Up and down

Colorful like a carnival



My head spins

Promises in the wind

That never come true



Your mouth meets mine

Frozen, I do nothing

This dance

This romance

Tell me it will never end

Tell me I’m not dreaming



Then, my world explodes

You are gone

Only fragments of you exist in my head

This dance

This romance

Vanishes…

Without a trace

Were you here at all?



He is in a better place

Heaven awaits

Say a prayer

Take care

And, The One will be sure to hear your despair



This ache, this suffering

It would be better to have never met you

Never loved you

This dance

This romance

Sifting through my hands, like a summer rain



Ah, but the heart never lets go

It winds around and holds tight

To even the mundane of all we shared

It won’t let me forget



This dance

This romance

This life

This pain

This suffering

This void

This… breakable heart o’mine



Tell God…I miss you.

Well said. Even the phrasing echoes the jumble of emotions that are love and loss.
