Tear Me Apart

No cuddles,

No kisses,

No whispers in the dark.

And all that

I miss is

That indefinable spark.

I push them

Away with

A choice erroneous.

Just choosing

To stay with

Neglect and loneliness.

The prayer, it

Is coming

As soon as I am done.

Wish I could

Stop running

And chasing all the fun.

The death and

Disease, I

Just long for them to go.

So here is

My reply:

Please cleanse me of my woe.

My soul, I

Can feel it

Above my eyes and heart.

Oh Lord, won’t

You seal it?

With grace tear me apart.
