“SWEET ON JESUS” I’ve wanted my love for Him to erase all other loves. Not because I’m devout, but because of the wounds. I’ve yet to disappear, these longings laced with pain, though to be fair, I’ve never put my whole weight behind erasure. What more must I give? What muscle must I find? Though even if I succeeded, what would be left after all those loves were blotted out to nothing? A blank sheet heart? Purity and emptiness?
