27. Enmity Becomes

I wonder if you know how cruel you can be.
So naturally, your hatred manifests for me.
In your eyes, I am nothing but human waste;
A landfill for you to dump all of your distaste.

When I was alone, and I would cry at night,
I would find relief and peace in this knowing:
That God was with me — that he heard my plight —
That, with me, he cried every tear I had been sowing.

One day, I found there was no God by my side.
Yet in his absence, I found an angel in lieu.
I found I was never alone, in every tear that I cried.
I found he had blessed me with you.

You don’t know what it meant for me.
You were the gift from God I prayed for.
I don’t know how it is that it has come to be,
That you would leave my heart bruised, beaten and sore.

All the painful moments that I never lived alone,
Were moments begrudged to be shared by you.
You meet me with a heart hardened by stone,
Where regret lives to be bitter and true.
