undeserved

eye to eye.

i couldn't look.

i couldn't speak.

i choked. emotionally, more than physically.

the words spilled out clumsily like coffee on a shaking table.

they were strung together in all the wrong ways.

i wanted to repeat what i said to clarify and make clear what i meant. to justify myself. to patch the wound my words were re-opening and inflicting at the same time.

yet i wanted to shut myself up. to take it all back.

to stop and forget.

and yet, i never found the rejection i so feared.

i found grace - a display of God's grace, so deep and so healing.
