The hurt still sings— a haunted thing awake in me.
Honest truth laid bare, what endures when all else is stripped away.
The hurt still sings— a haunted thing awake in me.
The cold of you that left me— I will not deny it. I let it dissolve me, a watery grave I stayed in for a time, learning a new rhythm.
There is no longer space for rushing, powering through, chin up, or other dishonest ways—pretense and pretend, concave heart.
His whip flickers precisely over my skin, carving me repentant. The burn of humility’s relief strips me of burdens, leaving me lighter, closer to Him.
