Elizabeth Benedict

When most people have something to do
I'm crying.
When most people have a life to live
I'm dying.
...

Blissful days
are ahead.
The past is gone,
and so is dread.
...

It's good to be
Right where I am
In the arms of the Man,
Unseen.
...

Life goes by
And I wonder why
When all I do is sit here and cry
About the days long past
...

You left me at a time
When I was tiny and red
You left me at a time
When I couldn't even crawl out of my bed
...

Is it too late for love?
I hear the song of a dove
Outside my window.
Just now I got up to close the door
...

Better
He loves me
Better
I'll stay
...

...

...

Let Him in
Let Him work
Let Him try
Because I've been a jerk.
...
