Save Me
By:  JoAnna Martin

Save me from darkness.
Save me from me.
Fill my heart with decency 
for mine is empty.
Tormented by anxiety,
the sky above me spins.
I am plagued by the hunger
that drives my sins.
I was so corrupt in life,
Can I be pure in death?
Or will I take a life
each time I take a breath?
Shade me from darkness.
Shade me from me.
Protect me from the life 
I've lived so recklessly.
Help me from giving in
to every desire.
Close my eyes to the sweetness
I see in lusts fires.
Hide my heart.
Trap my soul.
Don't let my mind
have control.
Free me from darkness.
Free me from me. 
Release my soul,
mind and body.
Let me stare death
in the eye.
Let me rise
into the sky.
Allow my arms
to embrace death.
Let me take
my final breath.
I am safe from darkness.
I am safe from me.
I am safe from all
but my destiny.

.....Forgive my sins.
