his prayer

God watch your child this night
watch him and hold him
keep him as your own and let him know no fear
let his sin wash away with the tides and be carried to oblivion

let his soul merge with your just for tonight
let him see what you see just for tonight
let him feel no pain, like you, tonight

let him see no more evil so his heart pause in its quiet trepidation
let him hear no scoffing so his mind will stop its self-loathing need to be one of these fallen cretons, these saddend judas's
let him feel no shame so his soul will stop tying itself in knots to the sound of its tears falling at the loss of it innocents at the hands of a world with nothing but death to offer

why must he stay here for this sad vacation when all he wants is to go home and get some fucking sleep
why must indure this pain that threatens his his very sanity for a pathetic word called life when no life touches this infected soil, this rotted killing field
why must he shed his heart for people that only use him to further themselves at his loss
why must continue this struggle when home coming is only a bullet and a barrel away
why

Dad forgive him for his transgrestions and bring him comfort for his continued sentence in this hell

for his sake
watch him
hold him
heal him
love him
tonight
