Don't sweat the SMALL stuff!

Not even
The gentlest whisper
Or the loudest roar
Not even
The shadow of You
Or the brushing of Your robe
Not even
The fragrance that lingers on
Or the rays that pierces through
Not even
The markings of Your footsteps
Or a glance at me

Am i
The forsaken
The rejected
The forgotten
The unwanted?

The absence of You
Is more painful
Than a thousand knives
Slashing my flesh
Than burning coal
Searing my skin

Pain beyond bear
