FAULT LINE

I can't imagine not being able to trust the ground.

Although I live on a globe spinning almost one thousand miles per hour, I've never felt the ground move. Tectonic plates rub and press one towards the other, this causes mountains to rise and earthquakes. Catastrophic damage can occur. The areas where these plates meet are called fault lines.

We can't imagine not being able to trust each other.

Although we live in a world where everything and everyone appears to be disposable, we took vows that said forever. Two separate people drawn into one union , that was enough to move us. The sum being greater than the whole, permanent is the word that comes to mind , unbreakable , unmovable. There are limits to what a relationship can endure, I crossed the fault line.

She can't imagine being able to trust me again.

All I've done is prove to be disposable, treading on vows and hearts. The world shook to it's very foundations , we split in two. Ripped apart and moved to guarded reactions to the simplest gestures. Realizing too late that She is the greater part of what sums me up. Permanent is the word that comes to mind. Forever I'll be broken , the cause of her being unmoved. Why didn't I avoid that fault line?

There is a fault line that lies beneath Jerusalem. 2000 years ago the pressure was applied to that fault line and an earthquake happened. Graves opened and one particular tomb had the stone roll away. Prophecy says that in our future, the Messiah will return and when his feet touch the mount of olives, it will split in two along that fault line.

I hope on that day, the stone will be rolled away and the relationship we had can be resurrected. Perhaps if He will forgive me, She will too. I know I could never be her husband again. Maybe with His endorsement, I can at least be Her friend.

That would rock my world. It was all my fault, I crossed the line.
