Oh heartbreak Jesus,
The one nailed upon a cross,
Your frail body still dangles on my wall.
The same wall You pressed me up against
The night we fell out of love.
In your hands
Two nails pierce Your palms,
The hands You laid against the small of my back,
And played promises You’d never keep,
On the guitar strings You’ve always known.
I have prayed to You often,
Worshipped Your memory,
And dedicated my broken life to You.
A newfound Savior
Oh heartbreak Jesus,
I often think about Your long hair
That reached disjointed shoulders
And the unconditional,
Seemingly eternal love,
You once gave me.
Remember when you used to kissed my feet,
And I betrayed you anyway?
Funny how it was you who sinned against me
In the end.
But where is your confession?
Did I not spend enough time,
On my knees
For You?
Do you not remember how I consumed,
Your body of Christ,
And drank your wine?
In your crucifixion
The torturous death of your memory,
Heartbreak Jesus
There are some days,
I have tried to resurrect you.
And breathe new life
Into the bloody mess,
That hangs slaughtered in a rosary
Across my chest.
Heartbreak Jesus, do you hear my prayers
Do you hear my pleading cry for help
When I beg for Your forgiveness?
Savior or Betrayer
For that I am not sure,
But I live for you no longer.
Now a bitter atheist
That preaches against you often,
In a world of no hope,
And very little love.
Heartbreak Jesus,
I don’t believe in You anymore.
