Save Me

My heart is crying out to You. Aching to be held, to be safe and loved. Yearning to feel that warmth filling my body and comforting my soul. It screams, desperate and afraid. But I fear that You can’t hear it. Its pleas are lost, hidden by the sounds of my life. The sounds of parties, clanking bottles, drunken rants. The sounds of cravings for drugs, ignored warnings. The sounds of lust, heavy breathing, tired 4am sighs. The sounds of ignorance, of hypocrisy, of disobedience. The sounds of failure. These sounds echo in my ears, drowning out the steady call of my heart beating for You. So with my final fading breath I pray that You would block out the noise of my mess and hear me, loud and clear. Save me.
