Anna Kittrell Poet Quatrain

Alone With Me

Alone with ears too wise to hear
And eyes to blind to see 
Dear Lord Jesus, please don’t leave
Myself alone with me

In darkness vengeance steals my thoughts
And rolls within my head
I taste the words I long to say
Words better left unsaid

My twisting, turning, twiddling thumbs
Will not be bored for long
Bad habits jump into my hands
Where soon they will grow strong

 My feet will run to Trouble’s door 
And beg to come inside
Where they will roam forbidden halls
Built up by foolish pride

Lord, please stay beside me now
God hear my humble plea
I’m formed of dust, and just can’t trust
Myself, alone with me
