Liquid Prayers



Never before has she had tears fall like
they’ve been for the past few months
Tears from somewhere in the deepest places inside
places she never knew existed
Every time she turns around it seems she’s wiping
a salt trail from a face so strange  it scares her to look
at herself in the mirror sometimes  

She wonders if anyone hears her cries at night
God she hopes her tears will stop endlessly falling and
soon take the pain she feels away with them
If what she’s heard is true and tears are liquid prayers
 she’s got a heart and soul full and she knows
God will help her in His own time
giving her back the strength she forgot
she even had
