Last Prayer For a Miracle

It's been too long

Walking these roads alone

And there's no way 

I'm getting to go back home


If turned around

Time may not be kind

The old clock ticks 

And eventually unwinds


I exchanged my love 

For a song that stole my heart

No dividends won

I was left completely broken apart


A cigarette thrown to the street

Yesterday's coffee down the drain

In a grave yard of dreams 

It's there I will remain 


God speed

I need a miracle

The end is now

Thy be it as you would

Give me strength 

To face my fears with you

Show me love

And I’ll do what I must do

Miracles do happen. It's no joke. I see you said to Victor, it already did! Good, very good. Panagiota

You made me feel the despair of the hopeless times many of us feel at some point in life and the longing for the miracle through a powerful prayer! Nicely written :)
