Pain Redeemed

Pain Redeemed

A miracle is the redemption of pain, not the absolution of it… The idea that if our dreams come true, we’ll be free from pain is a lie. The idea that if we give up our dreams, we’ll always be empty is also a lie. Only in emptiness can we be filled.

the heart that was broken

I had never wanted to know what it was to have a broken heart. I had tried to do things differently from most of the world, to protect myself and my heart from needless pain. But here I was, and it was real.

When I saw that there was someone else that made him smile, the realization that I didn’t light up his world brought the painful truth home. I knew, then, that I could never make him happy the way that I wanted to, the way that it should have been. Knowing that perhaps “he and I, together” wasn’t meant to be after all weighed on my heart like so many heavy bricks, crushing out the spark of joy that once had lit up my world.

Empty Arms

      I dreamed of the day I’d hold you, Close to my mama-heart. I knew how much I loved you, Right from the very start. I could almost see your tiny face, Those sweet baby eyes Looking up at mine- Your little angel eyes. I almost knew your voice, Even though I never…

The End.

The End.
