The Missing Peace…

Nov 4, 2020

I just feel lost. Empty. Emotional.

I long to fill this piece of my heart with peace.

I don’t know where it all went wrong. How two can be so happy and then not.

How two people who love each other so dearly can just give up.

I hurt.

I miss my peace.

That piece of my heart that felt so full.

Now my days just blend together…

Like MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursday.

No end to this in sight.

When will I stop crying? I’ve cried a thousand tears.

I’ve tossed and turned 30 nights. What day is it?

I feel so alone.

I thought this could get better. But today I weep. Tomorrow I weep. Everyday just feels heavy.

I wish I could say something. I just don’t know where to begin. And everyday I think the words will come, and before I know it, the day is done.

…and I weep. I cry. I toss and turn.

I dream of you and happier times.

And then I wake. And the same feeling all over again.

I wish I could just hear your voice again. See you smile. Hear your laugh.

I’d do anything just to have you here. To have a piece of you. Some peace.

No piece, no peace. Just emptiness and sleep.

I weep.
