silent prayer

there are so many things that i wish to say,
so many ways i’ve tried to pray
to a god that isn’t there,
trying to release the pain i can no longer bear.

these tears of mine fall down like rain
each one filled with a day of pain.
i’m asking you to make it stop
i’ve fallen so far from the top.
my voice can no longer sing
i cannot fly with broken wings.
i’ve crawled into a hole, into a shell
i beg you my dearest angel,
save me from this hell.
