Crying in the Rain

Why do I weep when I watch romance movies?

Maybe it’s because deep down

I believe that it’s not for me

That I can’t want it

That I’m not lovable to the point of someone’s confession


I’m not worth the pain or time that someone needs to take to get to know me

I’m not worth the awkward pauses in between conversation

I’m not worth sleepless nights waiting for a response

I’m not worth taking the risk of being rejected

I’m not worth the waiting and the hurting

I’m not worth taking a leap of faith

I’m not worth being ignored for

I’m not worth fighting for

I’m not worth crying for

I’m not worth it

She’s not worth it

She’s not pretty enough

She doesn’t smile easily

She’s not smart enough

She’s not that exciting

She’s not that stylish

She’s not that interesting

She’s not it


Can a sinful wretch like me dream for this kind of love?

Or is it another thing I must bury at the cross of Christ,

Must I wait in striving and in piety?

Does Jesus know that my heart wrestles with this? And

If he does, what is he doing about it?

Is this world of mine something that he wants to be in? Or does it lack

Christianity?


This thing that moves me

I must confess that

You are not in this crevice of my heart

That is why I still weep

When I see that a man finds a woman worth it

And she isn’t me
