Here I am before you, now
A broken, hollow cast of what I once was.
I lay my life upon your alter,
Spare me.
I am entirely at your mercy, here in your arms
I give you all I am.
Please shelter what is left of me.
Love me.
Your hands are soft upon my thigh,
And lips are gentle on my neck.
I long for you to understand my fears.
Protect me.
Be my savior in this instance,
Give me a purpose to cling to in your absence.
Hold me to your body.
Save me.
