A Prayer For the One
Well! somebody’s got to fill up these empty spaces,
Hollowness inside me that keeps growing on,
Silence screams and curses me,
‘Damn you! You’ll never find a way out.’
But have I got anything to lose?
When all I won was sorrow
And pains that I took in debt from you.
I don’t want to pay you back
With dollar and dimes and erase the blame,
The reality is that pain and sorrow are my drugs,
I can’t afford to lose them.
Miracles occur only in fairytales
And I’ll take this verdict with me,
To my coffin and bury them along.
Maybe my sons and daughters will be happy then,
Maybe you’ll be able to live a life
Where you’ll find eternal happiness and sunshine,
Amen…
-Avee
