my heart fills not only with women
but with men
their longing to love
their longing to protect
their longing to fix
something broken

or someone

finding a woman
to love
to protect
to fix
out of brokenness

clubs and bars their church
church their prison

finding a woman
who needs love
who needs protection
who needs fixing
but doesn’t want it

yet they go back

continue on
being beaten by love
or lust
being torn down by rejection
yet going back

to love
to protect
to fix

all characteristics of what God
wants to do with them
