Let me out of this acherontic pit I long for the light of your touch Dissipate the dark of confinement I beat my fist bloody Against the cold, stone walls Of my own mistrust I plead for you to come And carry me from this cell Show me the warmth of your whisper Speak to me with eyes That shed hope through look Caress insecurity from my skin I beg your forgiveness Of my ignorant precondition I long to trace you Free from the bias of past For the walls grow closer and the rancid air of my own exhale just won't last "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

Thank you everyone (Gemma~ I have minty fresh breath, thank you!) Anybody consider that this might have been about trying to find faith again?  "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |
