Girl:

Did you miss me?

Church:

Girl:

I have decided that I miss you.

Church:

Girl:

You were my childhood home

my teenage sanctuary.

Where can I go that I won’t return?

Church:

Girl:

I am not sure I want to keep returning.

Church:

Girl:

Why won’t you answer me?

I call out to God and She’s silent.

I reach out to you and you turn away.

Church:

Girl:

Maybe this was a mistake:

coming out

& coming back.

Church:

Maybe it was.
