Silent Cries of a Broken Heart (a modern day Psalm)

The tears flow silently
Cascading down my cheeks
The pains in my heart
Have surpassed their peaks

Where is my salvation
In my greatest time of need
For protection, love and acceptance
My heart earnestly pleads

I am being haunted
By memories of my past
The emotions are so intense
And my mistakes are so vast

What can I do
Where can I go
My heart feels so heavy
As my face can’t help but show

I feel so hopeless
No longer dare I dream
Is there any good from my past
That can yet be gleamed

In the blink of an eye
Life, like a vapour, is gone
I wish my life had been different
I feel like I’m all wrong

Oh God! My God!
Where are you
Why do you feel so distant
Show me your love so true

More than anything in life
your love I want to know
To feel it’s warm embrace
And in it to grow

My past was horrific
My present at times unbearable
The near to distant future
Seems to be very unstable

What have I left undone
What more do you want from me
I feel so lost and alone
I’m blind but want to see

Give me your sight
Please restore my life
Heal all my hurts
and stop the inner strife

Where is my refuge
Where can I hide
Sometimes life is like a slope
So slippery that far I slide

My life stretches before me
Like a vast wasteland
I feel so weak and empty
I can hardly stand

I don't want to just hope
I want to believe
That you will see me through
And my pain will be relieved

There is a cry
Deep within my broken heart
And all I ask for
Is to have a new start
