On Broken Knees
On Broken Knees
My friend, hello I recognize
The hopelessness you’ve dealt
Upon my soul for years and years
On broken knees I’ve knelt
So lonely in this dank abyss
No light with which to see
Nor air to breathe and fill my lungs
Constrict to smother me
And hold my eyes fused shut again
My tears to flood the dam
Of heart held back as bones dissolve
Restricting all I am
To love is lost at last long gone
Though likely I'll live on
Within the grays of lifeless prayers
Ragged robes left to don
And wonder just what purpose makes
When sadness reigns supreme
To steal away what makes me me
Then locks away my dream
To sleep or die perchance no dreams
Will herald peacefulness
For when I wake the nightmares live
To steal my hopefulness.
