Prayers

You only pray when something is wrong
When the wrong words are the only words
that you can make out to sound right


When things fall apartand can't be put back together
As the world spins madly by

When closed eyes reveal an open world 
And the dreamer is king

Because let's face it
You only pray when something is wrong
When your world has spun crazily out of control
and not even darkness can pull you deep into its abyss 


You just float by -emotionless-
as you question how you got here
and how you are to get out


While looking up to God, hands clasped together 
as you begin to murmur “Dear God, I know it has been a while... but I really need you...”
We all know that it's true
because we do


We all need you to save us from something
-perhaps just ourselves


And I can only ask,
“Dear God, 
please. Please save us from whatever is to come
And whatever has already passed.
Please, God.Please save me.


Amen"
