It is in solitude
I come here to pray
“Lord, give me the fortitude
to hold on another day!”
From Him I beg for
the strength to carry on
When the one I did adore
from my life is gone
Everything to him I gave
but he ‘s left me behind
And now only God can save
what is left of my mind
When it’s our love we give
and they throw it away
Often lost is will to live
steeped in the pain of they
“So, dear Lord, give it back
that I might clearly see
‘Twas not because of my lack
that they have now left me
Give me one who loves me more
with passion’s fire like the sun
On the road ahead before
my life is said and done!”

This was wonderful, but sad. A broken home, being left by the one you love, so painful and the healing takes a while. I’m praying for healing for two wonderful friends of mine who’ve gone the exact same thing and that they find someone so much better that they’ll forget about their previous loss.
Thanks for posting this. Blessings!
