My mere words are nowhere near
Of how I feel right now
From a stand to a bow
A kneel to the ground
But still
No words
Just emotions reel in
Just my emotions as real as I feel them
I lift my head to speak
Still no words to leak
Tears as I begin to weep
My words seep from my tears I own
Speaking the very words that my mind chose
But my mouth could not utter
Even if I spoke them
They would come stumbling into a stutter
So, I spoke in this way
Hoping You would understand
What I want to say
That You would comprehend
That I am sorry I can’t speak in Your presence
So, my tears must be my message
My thoughts are unpleasant
I cry at the altar
This is my prayer Father
Take these tears
& put them to paper
Make them into words
For You to read later
Read next: Grace!
