My heart says one thing, <br />But my head says another <br />Who would think something <br />Like this would happen again? <br />I do still love him deep inside, <br />But my head says not to go there. <br />What would you do if you faced this? <br />Run and hide inside yourself? <br />Or would you embrace the inevitable? <br />I am weak when it comes to him. <br />Yet for myself I must be strong. <br />I must stand up and say this is not right. <br />I must believe enough in myself, <br />That I will not go down that lonely road. <br />I must spread my wings and fly away. <br />I must get away from this path, <br />This path of hate and loneliness. <br />I am strong, I will fight. <br />I will rise against this need I have, <br />The passionate feelings for him. <br />The lies, the death of my soul. <br />I must remember! <br />I must get away from this! <br />I cannot be dependent on him again! <br />Never again! <br />God give me strength of will, <br />Grant me strength of soul, <br />Bestow upon me Your love, <br />So that I will not return to the dark. <br />Please, I pray, let me stand up for myself. <br />Let me grow into myself, away from him. <br />Away from the abuse of my heart. <br />Protect me in Your arms, <br />And I will be safe forever. <br />Thank you, oh Lord, for listening. <br />Lift me unto Your arms, <br />And I will be home with You.<br /><br />Shiloh Thompson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-prayer-in-a-moment-of-weakness/
