Jeremiah 2-4

thank you for not giving me what i want
from keeping me in this place
of hunger
so that i can see
my deep need for you
and that nothing will satisfy

thank you for showing me Jeremiah 2-4
and for reminding me of broken cisterns
the ones i made and run to in thirst
that have holes on the bottom.
how these years have been leaking
through idols
and how wen i was full
i was drinking from you
thank you that when i am lying in
hopelessness
your word gives me a dose of
strength to get up
to armor up
to believe
that your love is real
that this romance is real
and i am not alone.
