Repent or else!
Repent or else?
Or else what?
Is that a threat?
Love me or else.
Obey me or else.
I love you so much I laid down my life.
But I will hold my breath and throw a fit.
Lightning bolts and into the pit…
If you don’t love me back
If you don’t repent.
Fuck that.
My love veils no threat.
It is not dependent
On what you do
My love, it carries no or else and
No condition
To be a part from you
Tears my being
And splits my heart
But I do not throw stones
I don’t push away
In the dark
On your bed
In the shards of your heart
Through the doubts in your head
I am there
In the air
In your dreams
In the wounds you bear
In your desires and
In your fears
In your questions
Laughter hiding tears
I don’t ever go away
I came near
Your wounds to share
Wow. Beautiful– both the writing and the message.

Thanks Kristen!
It’s very moving and powerful. Also refreshing. I get tired of hearing I’m not a good enough christian, often enough not to want to identify as a Christian any more. I want to point them all to this from now on. It’s an awesome poem. You nailed it.
