Sometimes we inadvertently hurt those who love us the most.
She awakes from a sound
Her tired eyes burning
She looks around
After hours of yearning
Half fearful half hopeful
Awakened again
Would this be an intruder
Or would it be him?
She feels her face burning
Her own angry words
Came flooding back
How many times
Had she made her attack?
He worked so many hours
And was never at home
She was so tired
Of being left all alone
Her mind tended to wander
She’d been hurt once before
When she’d left her ex
She was hurt to the core
To trust again
Was no easy task
But if she couldn’t
How would they last?
Her husband needed her trust
Not angry words
From tears in her eyes
Her vision had blurred
She shook her head
Was she seeing right?
Had her beloved returned
In the blackness of night?
She opened her arms
To hold unto him tight
And promised herself
She’d make everything right
She knew God heard prayers
When she saw he’d returned
True love is given
And not always earned.
