A Pauper's Prayer

And I don’t know if we still see eye to eye

It always makes me think of things like all the reasons why

You are no longer mine…today or tonight or ever again

It always makes me think of things like where and when

I’ll see you again….with your arms wrapped tight around some other men

The ink of my veins and the blood of my pen

I close my eyes and slowly count to ten

With a knife in my back and a gun in my hand

Your conniving ways I try to somehow understand

Reaching for Heaven while sinking in quicksand

This isn’t how our future was planned

But you’re not here; you’re somewhere far, far away

Leaving me all alone, lost and astray

Blinded by your beautiful betray

Suffocated by the splendid shades of gray

Please come back tonight or today

The quickest route home without a delay

I don’t care what the price is to is to play

I want you back in my life even if I have to pay

My soul silently screams as it starts to sway

I get on my knees and painfully pray

God, please bring her back home today

I need her back everyday

I open my eyes and finish counting to ten

I see your smile right in front of me again

Open arms and fairy tale endings again

Then it disappears into the wicked wind once again

Then you vanish into that dark night again

I wish you could offer some light on my path tonight



My prayers have been answered by my muse and my pen

…Amen

…Amen
