Praying
Aching bleeding knees
for what
a prayer that's never heard
but felt so deep within
I beg to let it out
someone has to hear the silence
that screams from pores I always hid
not very well
but they didn't use to bleed out onto others
like now
its fucking contagious to just look into my lying eyes
you'll catch the lonely
emptiness
praying to deaf ears
with your sinners tongue
but you still will hold onto that rosary
like your salvation lies within empty words
On your knees begging with the truth
into the dead air
until you to shall bleed

Feels like someone just gripping a their faith to keep it as they dangle from a mountain. Very enjoyable, I've been there. I try to not ever let my faith slip, isn't always easy but then life isn't either. A++ on this one!

Ty love !! I slip in and out of my faith I've never admitted that
My grandma would be sending me to church to get bathed in holy water if she was still here

Mine was like that as well, when I was younger she'd tell me I would be a devil worshiper, and I did things that made him happy. But I guess she had good intentions.
