Crestfallen

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
