This streak

this streak

down the side of my cheek

it’s there

every time

I sit

and enter in

every time

I come and

sit here with You

sharing

what is really on my heart

the burdens

the heartache

it’s this season

it’s not depressing

or negative

or moping

it just hurts

and there are a lot of

unanswered questions

and unsure

resolutions

and so much yearning

and disappointments

hope

hurt

so much

and so the tears fall

when I’m with You

safe

here

sharing all that I am

all that You know

the me

that You know

and the You that I know

sees

hears

understands

holds

waits

and will be here tomorrow

whether the streak is here

or not
