My Keeper

All I want to do is cry

and tremble

and slowly fade away.

I constantly feel lonely,

but this is just too much

to bare.

Why can't You take me home?

Why do I need to be here?

What is there to do?

This world is filled with

pain, it has no remedy.

I know You're here

for me, but why can't

I be there with you?

I want to curl up in Your

lap, and slowly drift off

to sleep

in the comfort,

safety,

warmth

of Your steady strong arms.
