"Tiny Little Stabs"

"Tiny Little Stabs"

Ever seen the face of a friend 

As it changed into something else?

Now no longer what it had been,

Becomes a tiny little stab within.

The subtle move feels like surprise,

Though you knew it could take place

But in a moment, and on their face

It's a tiny little stab within. 

What once was strong and bright as day,

What once took those clouds away, 

Has now drifted and gone astray. 

Leaving a tiny little stab within

Oh to leave and protect yourself!

Why stay if this is how it will be?

These tiny stabs they may not kill,

But why stay to wait and see? 

Another tiny little stab within. 

The pain of change is a bloody mess,

These tiny stabs all over my dress,

One wonders why go through such stress

Until one day you hear them confess,

Apologies and thankfulness 

Eyes filled with tears 

The lost is found, 

Stay because you know they're bound,

The tiny little stab within, 

Are nails on the cross to Him. 

By Jmegrey 

"But He was pierced 

because of our transgressions, 

crushed because of our iniquities; 

punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds."

-Isaiah 53:5
