you always leave

you always leave me
when I just start getting comfortable
snatching the rug underneath my feet
and to be honest
I have cried out all my tears
my tongue has depleted its prayers
I know it’s not very Christian
but I’m just being honest

  1. I love the way this is said:
    "my tongue has depleted its prayers"

    A sad piece.

  2. It is sad when the voice of prayer is depleted. There is always a new day, but some days one is just tired I guess.

  3. Very sad this is. And it doen't matter that one isn't being ver Christian when the rug keeps being ripped fro under one.

  4. What a great poem... it feels so conversational, like the reader is listening in. Really nice!

  5. I understand the feeling of depleting your prayers. What may be un-Christian is always leaving someone...how many chances do they get?

  6. I think at some point it's the other that should be praying... (Or paying)

  7. I know this so well. Maybe direct the prayers towards strength to leave the person that's doing this to you.

  9. You captured a real sense of forlorn hope and despair regarding this.

  10. I think the Psalmist would have liked this. He, too, had his complaints against the Almighty. :-)

    1. Oh, then my comment below is a bit superfluous! Instead, let me say what a convincing piece of writing, lol.

  12. You put me in mind of a therapist's words, long ago: 'If someone's playing a game with you, the thing to do is, YOU stop playing.' (For what it's worth.)

  13. Honest, emotive and conversational...which is what prayer can be!
