"Unspoken"

My tears fall softly, silently, flowing from the brokenness; Feeling the frailty of my flesh  with every heartbeat. Retreating, I run again, into self-built walls of isolation, seeking a refuge from my pain. Unspoken failures haunt the chambers of my wounded heart. Now the dam of my sorrow breaks, releasing a salty flood of fear. It overwhelms my reason, pulling my emotion into its prison. There's no one here to see,  as the veneer of my pride vanishes in salty waves. Unspoken doubt wanders through my mind, whispering temptingly. The silence of my lips shield me, hiding me from the pain; protecting a fragile heart, crushed all too easily by thoughtless words, like the petals of a rose trampled carelessly underfoot. Unspoken hurt takes fear's key, shutting my heart away. Then I remember You, Lord. You're the only one who sees the secret face of my fear. Yet, You never turn away. So many times I've been here, hurt flowing helplessly, vowing I'd be strong. Unspoken dreams, unfulfilled destiny, reaching out to be restored. Here I am again Lord, running to you like a child;                                                   hiding my face in Your Bosom, weeping in Your Faithful Arms.   Silence listens as my lips speak-- "I trust You, only You Lord, to love me as I am" Spoken trust remembers His Sweet Promises, hearing His Song of Peace.
