I have begged you
from down on my knees,
.
I have cried endless tears,
.
I have died
to myself.
.
And now I lie at your heels.
.
Do you hear me crying?
Do you hear my heartbreak?
Do you feel anything as I beg you to stay?
.
Cover me,
Oh Lord, cover me.
.
I’m unclothed, I’m unclean.
.
But underneath,
buried deep,
beneath my heart,
afraid to speak,
lies a spark, loyal and true,
and it beats so strongly
just for you
oh Lord,
.
Cover me,
Cover me,
Cover me.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Even though I'm an Atheist, I felt your joy and love for God pulsing in your poem! This was so lovely.
This one was too familiar. I felt the sting of remembering. So good
I feel the pain and the passion in your poem. Heartbreakingly bittersweet.
