40. The Only Jesus They Ever Taught
I just want to sit here
inside your sadness
And be the Jesus
They never taught
You about.
How much greater
A heart,
Now broken,
than a heart
Never allowed
to break,
Sitting stale
And minutely
Shattered,
The pain
Softly cobwebbed
like something
Nobody speaks
About?
But what if instead,
As I sit and listen,
You tell the truth
For once in your life
Not for the lack of
Wanting
But for the lack
Of trusting
Because the only
Jesus they ever taught
Didn't know
How to just
let
you
cry.
