God, Spare My Weary Heart

The baleful words you say,
Leave painful scars in me
Permitting them to possess my heart 
Oppressively. 
Withstanding the bitterness and pain
You caused, 
Conquering and diminishing me 
By using your atrocity, 
Feeling sadness flowing violently, 
Warding happiness away, 
Filling my eyes with hurtful tears 
And meaningful pain, 
Feeling the darkness reign.
God, 
You’re my ally,
You’re the one I stand still for, 
Forgive my sins, 
Ease my pain, 
Reborn the me in me again...
