Help Me
Help me as I lie here all broken and bleeding and lonely:
So desperately in need of the knowledge that someone
Out there in the vast, dismal reaches of this cold world,
Is thinking of me tonight-
Is holding me close to her heart tonight.
Help me to regain my lost innocence and
To find my missing laughter.
Will you please help to find
The soft and delicate things
That I know exist,
But have been unable to find on my own?
Help me to see the world
Just a little bit brighter - just a little kinder.
Give me the means to life the
Veil of all-pervasive darkness that has always
Clung tenaciously to my beleaguered being.
Help me when the nights are so cheerless,
And I lie here aching with only you
Indelibly etched upon my wounded consciousness.
Oh will you help me to love today,
And to thank God for all the good things?
All-the-while leading my crucified senses
Away from the oh-so-many bad things?
Will you help me when I'm crying,
And stem the raging flood of tears, when they
Threaten to blind me to all else but
MY own binding sadness?
I think that you just may,
I sincerely think that you just might,
Be the one to bathe me in Heaven's light.
