Tears That Breed Trust.
She's 19.
32 weeks pregnant :: she found her boyfriend cheating on her with her sister :: in the hospital for polypharmacy drug overdose :: her own attempt to end the pain :: Betrayed. This is the story of her life.
She's 19.
her parents are alcoholics and absent in her life :: her uncle raped her when she was young :: her sister comes to the hospital only to bagder her for money owed :: she says there is no one in her life she trusts
She lays in the hospital bed, crying, weeping and I feel there is nothing I can do to mend her pain. This isn't pain relieved with any amount of vicodin or morphine; this pain takes time to heal. It's overwhelming. I try to talk to her, but she's quiet and closed off - her tears are the only way she's communicating with me. But she doesn't want me to leave. So I sit at her side, holding her hand, and the tears stream down my face. I keep thinking I haven't a clue what to say; there are no words to fit this present moment. I keep crying, feeling her pain to the slightest degree and I realize these tears speak more than words ever could. What breaks my heart the most is she feels she has no one in her life to trust. No one. No hope. No stability. She walks this 'meaningless' painful road of life alone. And it breaks me to the core.
This is where the Heart of God yearns to breathe His life.
Unleash Your Spirit, I pray.
