Stop In The Name of Love
don’t force her hand
to ‘win’ a game
that can’t be won
by cheating
everyone
loses
when the Enemy
is the banker
don’t go
children dig
in empty pockets
to pay the price
for fools
who throw away
life savings
on Charleton’s
concoctions
promises poured
down drains
redefining
the legacy
stop
bandaging
hard issues
with harder
issues still
throwing blame around
like bed sheets
over
fault lines
as though no one
can see
your cracks
come back
to any of us
who call your name
as deafness laughs
and nods its head
who of us have not
turned the wrong way
down the
One Way street
turn around
while selfishness
and pleasure
lay bare against
the sin
where deepest needs
gather in darkness
to mock and spit upon
the need already met
stop in the name of Love
following the map of lies
deceiving is believing
now heart pretends
it never loved
beloved bride of youth
maybe she’ll survive
but who protects the children
when blessed home is robbed
by opening
the door
when darkness
rang the bell
please
patricia spreng
divorce is so far reaching. written in grief... helplessly reaching out for a loved one who will not return, and who may never read this, could it possibly effect change... for anyone? I don't know. God only knows and He is the author of forgiveness, healing, and restoration... the story isn't over.
