Drive
By Rachel
My hand grasps the wheel
As I turn back, look back
Behind me in self-pity
And angry death.
I can’t help but wonder…
I think,
…of what could be if…
but I know
the time is gone
and I am left with nothing
and no one to hold,
no one but You.
The pain draws my eyes away
To questions and chaos
With seduction that tears me apart,
And I cry—
Only I know, I lie,
I lie.
Yet Your light clings to me,
Like the garment You cannot shed,
Like the love You always give
When I cannot give it back,
When I shove it in Your face
To weep alone.
The light is brighter, stronger,
And the road persistent before me.
I hear Your call and turn my head.
“Lay your pain upon Me…
Lay your pain upon Me.”
I drive on again in peace.
