Thorns

Mindless hate twists through my heart
Piercing it like thorns In these thorns
I am entangled
Gasping for the breathe of compassion I once knew

In my solemn hour I cry out for your help
Barely a whisper, the thorns strangle me
Save me from these torrents of torture!
Lift me out of this hell I have created!
Wake me from this nightmare!

Why do you ignore my cries?
Still, you are silent as the grave
Am I forsaken this time?
Where art thou, my King?

My love has been wrenched from my heart
Thrown into the abyss of interminable night
Will I wander it forever, enduring this horrible blight?
The thorns constrict me, chasing out the light

Again, I call your name But are you even there?
I need a sign Ignite the thorns with your radiance!

Breathe love into this stuttering heart!
Bring your peace, let me love you again!
Bring your peace, let me love you again!
