The Answer

Loneliness is...
a loud silence that pierces
a heart that breaks with no one to witness
tears that fall upon your pillow and no one ever knows
an infection that eats away at your core
your hollow insides resonating into a silent abyss
affection with no one to wrap your arms around
a friendship with no return
speaking just to break the deafening silence
a disease of the mind felt by many, yet witnessed by none
the devil’s tool to isolate us and make us think we are unique in our circumstance

Jesus is...
The Small still voice that comforts
The Restorer of broken hearts
The Catcher and Saver of all our tears, He is storing up every one
The Healer that restores marrow to our bones
The Filler of our cups
The Object of our affection
The Friend that died for us and asked nothing in return
The One that speaks life
The Re-newer of our minds, available for all, yet accepted by few
The Answer to everything, regardless of our circumstance
