Softly I Pray~

One more setting sun gone by
One more moon to which me cry
Holding tight your image dear
My prayer stays soft
    no one will hear

An angel listens
intently rapt
She knows I'm here
    forever trapped

I battle hard from day to day
I worry about each thing I say
My heart is broken and I find
That only love sustains
    the mind

Three years and more, crawled
slowly on
I begged for kindness, but
    it was gone

The victim turned into reviled
I lost my heart and rarely smiled
Those so cruel feel they're above
Will end alone,
    devoid of love.
