Suspending Gravity

Somebody save my soul.
Somebody save my soul.
It's tattered and torn.
It's hung in a hole.

Somebody save my soul.
Somebody save my soul.
Deeply scarred,
carved to your benefit.
Whittled away to keep you at bay.

Save my soul.
Save my soul.
It's deep in this hole,
and I beg you to save me.
No promises I'll make it out.
No promises I'll stand my ground.
But please just save my soul.

Buried deep again,
left for dead.
Never the end.

Slipping back further into bliss.
Empty and powerful.
Joyous and dumb.
I'm amiss.

This habit is always so hard to break.
Take it away.
Take me away.
Save my soul.
Stop making me pray.
Stop making me prey.

Fulfill me whole
til I spill over the top.
With completeness and satisfaction
that reflects more of who I am to you,
than you are to me.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
