where was God today?
and she cried out to Him,
or Her as she would say.
maybe that's where He was,
annoyed at the pronoun?
but she cried out to Him,
with tears and silent screams
(never let a sound escape)
and a whispered, begged prayer
"make this end, make it end!"
where was God today?
when the blood flowed
and the tears dried
and the screams never made a sound
and she defended Her
to a man who doesn't believe,
to a man who gives good advice,
a man who has the power
to instill a question in her mind
was god here today?
with her limp hair in her face
salty with tears and mascara?
(somehow i think She was listening
despite my continued fears)
