Words in search of hope, will it be found? I doubt it.
© 2011 - Nataliea AKA Jess Rosewell

I pray til I'm hoarse, my knees numb
Til my breath shakes within my cage
my tears filled with guilt, grief, remorse
For crimes which I have yet to be tried

I pray til I'm hoarse, my knees numb
Til my breath shakes within my cage
In the silence, undercover

I am not alone
These words, my words
These tears, my tears
This heart, my breaking heart

I pray til I'm hoarse, my knees numb
Til my breath shakes within my cage
I weep not for myself, though by myself
Heart broken, the heart is mine though not for me

I pray til I'm hoarse, my knees numb
Til my breath shakes within my cage
I pray to mend this, my heart and YOURS
Wipe my own tears though I cannot reach yours
Speak words on your behalf

I pray til I'm hoarse, my knees numb
Til my breath shakes within my cage
Words that are lost in ether
Fallen to the ground
Prayers unanswered

Your ears closed to my lips
Heart encased in lies fed
Love is dying
For mine is dead

I pray til I'm hoarse, my knees numb
Til my breath shakes within my cage
