save my living daylights

hide me now under your wings
when these shadows cower over me
and towers stronger than me
invade and mistake me for their enemy.

when love is not enough to carry on
when the dishes are left untouched
and the sink unscrubbed
and grubby paw marks on every wall
and an empty house serving like an empty cell
only echoes in the hallway of a crying soul
in solitude, in pain, in ungrace.

Father hold my broken pieces together
broken glass bits that shattered
when the well meaning warm mug was handed
inside the warm car of a familiar conversation.

Give me hope against hopelessness
Give me bread to sustain life
Give me life against meaninglessness
Hide me from these shadows
Hide me now as I lay me down
No death will take me apart
No, not this again.

GIve me this night a dry pillow to rest upon.
