i pray

no dont you touch me

please no, not there

you promised me

what happened to my prayer?

Mommy, why dont you listen

i told you the truth

look at this bruising

now look at this noose

i told you everything

i did, please i really did

its the story i'll cling

to, oh i beg, i bid

now here i am

shivering on the floor

waiting for the slam

and of course, the gore

one last time, i beg

please, listen to my words

i can't move this crag

mommy, i'm so cold

i pray

i pray

and i pray

for you to stay

for him to leave

and for me to die.

I like this, I love the idea of prayers so something other than a god, and i this was used well to show desperation.

Mmm yes... To the point of being unsure who to pray to...
Thanks, Nathan
