This –

This isn’t what I thought it would be –

This –

In my head I never thought much would change –

This…

 

That –

Never believed then I’d be held captive by –

That –

A silent stalker to my sanity and faith –

That…

 

It –

Expected it to alter something’s but not that –

It –

Would destroy the world I understood, I bore –

It…

 

Things –

They’ve just not been what I prepared for –

Things –

Have broken, silenced, mocked, stripped me –

Things…

 

Ending –

Abruptly painfully in an surprise nightmare –

Ending –

My world swept away by an unforeseen hurricane –

Ending…

 

Cornerstone –

The shelter of my heart and my life stripped –

Cornerstone –

Buried beneath all the debris and trash –

Cornerstone…

 

Jesus –

Never left me forgot me stopped carrying me –

Jesus –

Didn’t change walk away up and leave but stayed –

Jesus…

 

This,

Rare disease that shredded me its mission destruction –

Things

Fell apart and away and they died rebirth needing endings –

Cornerstone

The capstone of my life, love, heart, faith, everything –

Jesus remains.
