I get to the end of my day all empty
and tired and lonely and I look
to my husband to heal me
and forget he's not Jesus.
I turn away unfilled then spin around,
words flailing like chain saw digging
into his heart, shredding respect.
I walk away with new pain,
for we are one-flesh and I
have just wounded myself.
A truth I must remind myself of constantly.
