Tears in a Bottle

raindrops
When the arrow of pain strikes me
My knees give up and I fall
When anguish and turmoil attack me
I am not strong enough to break the wall

When my close ones turn away from me
My heart is broken into two

When my back is stabbed by the ones I love
My vision is blurred and I don't know what to do

When wounding words are thrown at me
I feel like I am pierced with a hot knife

When isolation comes to intimidate me
I drown in the unbearable pain of my life

Lord, where are you?
Lord, are you here?

Lord, please see my streaming tears and put them in your bottle
My only comfort is that you will dry each tear and my life is yours to handle

You are my only solace, you are my only solution
Please run to me with your endless compassion
