Parting Scars
Clasping my hands, I air a prayer
Beg for forgiveness, with no one there
Falling to knees, crosses dangle from throat
Feeling warmth, provided by an invisible coat
Safely and securely, I lie humbled in bed
Thanking the lord for all the blood he has shed
Careful not to take advantage of endless wish lists
My scars fully fade on my porcelain wrists
Conversing dreams of passion and hope
Weary not to fall victim to life's atrope
When I feel no one is listening
That no one cares
I feel the clouds part
Revealing my fully answered prayers
