Talk

    Talk

You shake your head and make

Judgmental declarations

I have been the same person as before,

Helping as I can, as God leads and enables

My greatest crime was marriage

To someone wonderful

Who struggles now, and

Hopefully not long

But money brings out

The Holier-Than-Thou in so many

Discouragement has hit me

From behind, Tangled in your Talk

I couldn’t see your words coming

You have smiled to my face

And now I am betrayed

How can I trust your good words

If they twist to arrogance behind my back?

I don’t need to explain my existence to you

But I will take my troubles to my Unchanging Fortress

It’s just too bad that you insist on being part of the problem

When I wanted only Friendship

Problem-Solver of the Impossible,

Save me from damaging words,

So that I may praise You in the Silence
