Take me into your warm embrace,
Allow me just a fraction of grace,
Give me but one second of peace,
Grant me my love a fulfilling release.

Take care of this wounded soul,
Give away all of my past, my present, untold,
Shelter me in love at least for a moment,
Envelop my torture in thoughts of kindness.

Subdue the demons that plague me so,
Endure all the damage that lays waste in my soul,
Kiss me to sleep as I shout to the heavens,
Allow me a second of your holy benevolence.

These words come out tired, weary, and weak;
I have only but moments til I find what I seek,
Bones too brittle,
Pain too great,
Allow me but one second of grace,
Give to me what I do not deserve,
Allow me to feel your unalienable love.
