Hope to die

Once again I lay down
With eyes shut tight
And ready to die
My life slipping away
From the grasp of my tired hands

My tearful eyes seek acceptance
My bruised knees yearn for your touch
I want but you deny
Thus with a heavy heart I know I must
Walk away in shame yet again

I offer you the truth
Yet you thrive on lies
I seek just a chance
To prove my worth
I want; but you deny

Once again I lay down
With eyes shut tight
And ready to die
My life slipping away
From the grasp of my tired hands
