My Dearest

A love letter from Jesus himself.

My beloved, can you not see?
Are you blind to my love?

Are you still failing to see the desperate search of my heart
In need of reaching out and touching yours?

Can you not hear the cry of my blood
As it sheds for your soul?

Can you not taste the salt of my tears
As they fall onto your lips and give you life?

Can you not feel my life pass through you
As it escapes my body in one final cry?

Can you not smell the perfume poured onto my feet
As it mixes with the sins I bear for you?

How can you ask me-
How can you request I show my love for you?

It’s always been right here.
In the blood I sweat, in the tears that fell,

And in the roses that grew,
Watered by the water from my side
Which was pierced by your doubt.
