all I wanna do is be
with You.
take me into that place where you are all I can see,
take me there.
surrounded by everything that hurts me and
a part of me loves to hurt,
to give myself over to the pain
just to feel the fleeting flame
of love.
the fast burn of my dry heart
leaves it charred and disfigured.
smoldering and choked.
show me out!
You are the only love I need.

i miss it.
where is it? it used to fill the room. it's
gone now.
i'm cold here.
i'm tired.
i want to leave, will you let me?
my heart is breaking for this
soulessness.
where are You?
You are mine.
more, i am Yours.
tell me again.
tell them again, they are hurting and i can feel it.
i have no strength to pick them up
no smile to light their day
no words on my tongue.
and yet the broken, the writhing, the sullen
they need You.
use me.
