I Had to Pray

so scared for you
i had to pray
i felt like i was betraying you
but someone has to help
even if that someone isn't me
i would if i could
i would take it all away
i can't stand the thought
the thought of you tonight
sleepless, tired, and stirring
worrying, thinking back
to whatever it is that
has held you hostage all of these years
taking you down and low
away from all that lives around you
even if that isn't even me
so forgive me if i pray
if it keeps us both sane
if it gives you an extra hour
or maybe one moment of peace.
