Tears and Prayers

Tears and prayers
Were my salvation last night
The tears were cleansing my heart
The prayers were healing it

How can I forgive
Why do I feel so weak

I pray to God

Help me, Lord
Please make me whole

I need you, Lord
Please save my soul
From this betrayal and pain
I kept bottled up inside
For far too long

I was smiling and happy for all to see
But deep in my heart
A pain so forlorn
It was slowly killing me

Thank you Lord
The tears are now spent
The healing and forgiveness
Of your sin
I must now begin

About this poem:

Finally last night after tears and prayers I resolved an emotional issue which I ignored and denied for two years.

Hi Bajanshay

Poetry is not only an agreeable pastime for many who are drawn to this form of literature, but can be a truly cathartic experience when dealing with personal emotional issues, as in this instance.

A superb write. I admire your undoubted talent.

Kindest regards

Hi, Bajanshay,
It is good when Tears and Prayers can help one heal from betrayal and pain. Thanks for sharing this new beginning.

Lessons learned , and moving on to a brighter future , I wish you all that is good in this life ! Warm regards -Fiona
