Lonely crystal teardrops

embrace this tainted face

as feelings of distortion

enter through emotions gate ...

Feelings only brought about

by an assortment of defeats

in memories

of a younger life

that filled my mind with grief...

Trying just to grasp a hold

finally understand

why failure played a major role

in every single plan... Searching for release from strain

reaching deep inside

dealing with the haunts of past

these present fears arise...

Trembling scared beyond control

afraid where this may lead

as knowledge of the truth unfolds

remorse and sadness beckons me...

Those painful hurts and hardships

from a lack of love not shown

they must befell and broken down

for this bitterness has grown ...

Every time these thoughts are held

they build a stumbling block

where dreams meet failure’s scene

from a past I have not fought ...

Enduring all these troubles

in letting burdens go

working towards my heart to heal

which at times I do not know ...

O, Lord these cries I say aloud

please let them all be heard

for guiding strength is what I need

even though it’s not deserved ...

So whenever I feel lonely

or the tears they seem to fall

I pray that I remember Lord

You’re always here to call ...
