Black Heart Prayer

I will throw myself on the mercy of any man or God,

I beseech you please do not break me again.

Do not lead me into the dark.

I cannot bare this burden you gift me.

 

You give me a heart as fragile as glass,

The softest whisper threatens to crack.

The faintest cold on the air will smash.

Breathe strength and will into my core.

 

So much fits to pattern,

Already the darkness is hinted every time you turn your head.

Gods give me the power to ******

To make you love me so completely.

 

The last time you made me love,

It burnt and ruined all I had struggled to create.

You make me build only to destroy,

You make me crave and cry like the sickest of ploys.

 

If you give me this in honest intention,

Hold fast his intoxicating affection.

Do not rip open my wounds and bleed me dry.

So broken with no more tears to cry.

 

Take these words as my most heartfelt prayer,

The Faithlss broken by relentless despair.
