THE PRAYER

in #poetry7 years ago

I'm wide awake

An empty bed drives my dreams away

Life melts like ice

Disappears in the twinkling of an eye

I'm losing my mind,

Pushing reality out of sight

Our lips are touching softly

You're the one I believe blindly

I walk around like crazy

Falling in love frightens me

Days are like wounds

Countless and hard to get through

Prayer. It burns my sore lips like a fire

Prayer. Thy name is something I admire

Heaven knows just as well as I do

So many times I have cried over you

Heaven knows just as well as I do

I pray and live only for you

I can't lie to God

As I kneel down and pray

You're the love of my life

That's the only thing I can say
