Please, Hear Me, Lord

Take my soul, for it is broken;

the heart that writes to you is crying.

Your prophet is sinking quickly,

and all i can do is watch, weeping.

This world brings misery to all,

but still life flourishes and grows.

If you will not take me away,

i shall wait until the day you come

and hope the light that's shining through

wipes the tears and brings all smiles.

And still i sit here in the dark

and wait to feel you inside and out.

Lord, please do not take far too long;

i sit, broke and blind, and cry for you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I felt like crud when I wrote this.  I was worried about a dear friend of mine, and I just felt horrid.  I only first shared it when I felt like I'd let go of it.
