Dear God, Save Me

A man on death road pleads to God.

Dear God,

I've been in my cell for over three years

I've grew some comfort with the sound of my tears

The door is locked and the lights are out

No one can hear my screams or shouts

I can't feel the cold anymore on my skin

They all say I'm guilty for all my sins

I didn’t do it, this thing they say

If I don't get out of here, then I'll die today!

They gave me a choice of how I can die

Electrocution until my body grows dry

Injections that fled into my veins

I'll lay there and slowly my soul will drain

I told them so many times that I am not the one to blame

But all they tell me is always the same

I did not kill that girl I swear

I was at home, I was not there

My heart is calm yet my head is at war

What did You put me on earth for?

I'm barely an adult and never had a wife

I barely turned nineteen and this is my life?

Will hell take me into it's fires?

Or will You know I'm innocent and bring me into sweet desire?

I need to know this before I die

I need no misjudgment, I need no lies

I hear them coming to my cell

I need to know!

Am I going to hell?

God be my redeemer and take me now

I'm sitting on my knees, to You I bow

My soul is pure and I never held that gun

Dear God as my savior take me I am your son

Very heart touching poem Erin, and God does always listen, and we are not guilty in his eyes. I enjoyed this read, thank you =)

This is great!!! I love the structure! It flowed so well. I felt sorry for the character! How cruel life can be to some people! Beautifully written!
