“Prayer”

Sable McPherson

I hate the fact he bothers me so

I don’t know how far I want to go

With this life, this love I cannot figure out

Cannot talk to anyone about it

My heart, it feels like it wants to holler it

But my heart... I cannot seem to shout

---

Take him away from me

Remove these feelings from me

This is too confusing for me to comprehend

I don’t know what it feels like

To have someone loving me in this life

Take him away

I cannot remain

Remain this way

---

I cannot take it anymore

The way my heart is battered and it’s sore

Because of the way that I feel

The memories return to my mind

The ones I thought I had left behind

But now... no I don’t think this is real

---

Take them away from me

Remove these feelings from me

This is too confusing for me to comprehend

I now know what it feels like

To be thinking of dying from this life

Take them away

I cannot remain....

---

I thought I could handle it all

I thought it would matter if I did fall

If my trust in him did waver

But now I realize

I believe this is my demise

To think of dying, so I write this prayer

But You decided to

---

Take him away from me

To take these feeling from me

Because this was too confusing for me to comprehend

And I didn’t know what it was like

To have the right one to love me in this life

So You took him away

And I cannot remain

Remain this way

---

And then you took these memories from me

Removed these feelings from me

Now it’s not too confusing for me to comprehend

I now know how it would be

To let it all go now and just be free

You took them away

And now I can remain

I now know what it is like

To have others around me to love me in this life

And I can remain

And I can remain

Without the pain
