I cry a tear of hope but it is lost in helplessness
The darkness eats away at the very embers of my soul
For the deepest love
I had has dissolved before my eyes
My sorrow is bleak
I beg for deliverance
Lord in your mercy hear my prayer
All emotion is consumed by an inner silence
All grief is unassuaged by disconsulate tears
I want for nothing
I live for nothing
I am waiting to die but
I am afraid of dying
Lord in your mercy hear my prayer
Crestfallen emotion
Wallowing in guilt and drowning for evermore
Falling deeper into fear
My inner self is now a sleeper of stone
Help me
