Softly I Pray

 

Softly I Pray~

One more setting sun gone by
One more moon to which I 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 over things 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.
