When will it end, this

Ceaseless nightmare of

Greif and of guilt and

Hatred drowning me?

Shall I die strangled,

Helpless, lost in the

Sea of my sorrows?

Surely, I'm alone.

None have arisen.

Would you leave me here,

Lost in demise? Or

Shall you aide me, here?

Is mine a spirit

Fit for saving, or

Has it been tattered

Beyond revival?

Please speak of hope and

Life and healing for

This, my marred, hollow

Heart, which yearns for light.

Author's note: This was essentially a prayer written in the form of a poem. I believe it was written in 2011 or 2012.
