Please join me in this place where I cry alone- <br />Please find me and lend me your strength. <br />Because I need you! <br />I need you so very much... <br />I yearn for you and your quiet understanding. <br /> <br />If I prayed for you, would you come? <br />Would you come to me and hold me in your arms while I wept? <br />If I prayed, would you be there? <br />Would you come to me, if I wished for you with all of my heart? <br /> <br />Because I wished... <br />And you did not come... <br />Because I called out your name through my tears, <br />And you were not there... <br />Because I prayed.... <br />And my prayers for your arrival were not answered. <br /> <br />I've needed you so- <br />But you were so far away. <br />I called out to you with my sorrowed words, <br />Yet they weren't enough.... <br />I begged God to give me the comfort of you- <br />But yet still.... <br /> I Cry Alone. <br /> <br />(October 24,1997)<br /><br />Lesa MRK<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-cry-alone/
