(a poem I wrote about losing communion with someone you love)
Jesus Wept
Jesus wept
At Lazarus’ death
Though He knew it was only a moment
Still that moment unto sorrow was an abyss
Jesus wept
When Romeo and Juliet took their lives
And the fallen cruel reality sundered their bond
And the fire burned to embers
Jesus wept
When Eve touched the apple
When Adam stood by helpless
And autumn leaves began to fall
When his killers destroyed him
And could not hear His call
And when I saw you by candlelight
And by the sun
My heart’s joy to be stabbed
And finally be one
And when shallow coldness prevailed
And our bonds tore apart
Jesus wept, and his tears
Filled the hole in my heart
Jesus Wept
Jesus wept
At Lazarus’ death
Though He knew it was only a moment
Still that moment unto sorrow was an abyss
Jesus wept
When Romeo and Juliet took their lives
And the fallen cruel reality sundered their bond
And the fire burned to embers
Jesus wept
When Eve touched the apple
When Adam stood by helpless
And autumn leaves began to fall
When his killers destroyed him
And could not hear His call
And when I saw you by candlelight
And by the sun
My heart’s joy to be stabbed
And finally be one
And when shallow coldness prevailed
And our bonds tore apart
Jesus wept, and his tears
Filled the hole in my heart
