alone in silence
alone in silence;
just my breath to frame.
the wind whistles blindly
with no direction or aim.
i feel no mercy.
i feel no pain.
only gracious propping
from the Lord, God, his name.
alone in silence;
no feelings to ease.
only silence to burden
while down on my knees.
all that is irony
succombs to my prayer
i pray for silence nightly
as i comb my hair.
i crawl into bed
not knowing if i’m here.
if life is really happening
and why i have fear.
my soul is empty and in need
of new life from above.
i need a boost
of everlasting love.
i may never know
what this love may bring
but i know that i need it –
to hold me till spring.
if i ever
know of this love again.
i will open wide
with love and pardoned sin.
if i shall not find
forgiveness from above
i’ll perish being lonely,
damned by God above.
what is the plan
for my soul; i do seek.
will i be loved till old
or be alone and meek.

This just came to me. It’s how I feel. sighs I love it when I can just write what I feel. I know it’s very out of charactor for me to write with no caps as I am very anal about correctness – but in this case, it was necessary.
