My Trespasses

I tuck my daugher in to bed



And meaningless thoughts enter my head



I try to keep the "poor me's" away



Yet they trespass here today



Tears are pushed from my eyes



And yet another part of me dies



How much more can I handle?



My heart is burning like a candle



Here a flame; there a flicker



Then it burns out with a snicker



Give me strength; give me hope



Give me anything to help me cope



I am so tired of crying alone;



Tired of hearing my broken heart moan



Patch the pieces; sew the tear



Send someone who shows some care
