Save Me

I am falling off the edge of reason,
                        beaten down by illness's rod.
                        My friends took wings
                        and flew away.

                        You plucked the fruit of
                        my womb from my family tree.
                        No blowing out of candles or
                        Happy Birthdays sung.
                          
                        No gathering around the 
                        Christmas tree with family.
                        My heart weeps as
                        solitude sings to me.

                        Sin’s viperous fangs
                        ripped open my soul!
.                      Waves of loneliness crash 
                        against the shore of my reality

                        God, cast down your light,
                        and wrap me in the hope
                        of your salvation and love.
