Wear your scars like Sunday's best lace; too few
ears have heard you crying over love's dusty grave. I
eavesdrop on your silent apologies and wide-eyed screams; all
promises He made to stick around fall from lying lips like a scandal.
Is this what you wanted, smeared mascara and heartache to go?
New beginnings have a price; if you wanted to follow
God into the clouds, you bet wrong.  God's a loss.
A double acrostic for NaPoWriMo Day 4.
