The idiot’s prayer.

Bound by my word;
Lost in my pain;
You hold my heart;
Control my fate.

I know what I wish;
What I desire;
Your hand in mine, you in my arms;
Your smile, your warmth and your laughter.

But I know not your will;
Nor how it is you feel;
You do not speak, you will not tell;
Talk to me please, I beg this of thee.

This has a very charming medieval feel to it, I especially like the last verse.

"The idiot's prayer". It’s not an idiot praying here. “God, if there is a God, save my soul, if I have a soul”. This is an idiot. No offence.

none taken Nolan. I called it the idiot's prayer because i really had to be an idiot to get into the situation and an even biffer idiot to expect the 'prayer' to be answered. Truth to tell i pray all the time and every prayer is answered - unfortuanately the answer is most always no. thanks for the comments. ;)

When you speak to God people call it prayer. When God speaks to you they call it schizophrenia &&

Probably just as well: "unfortuanately the answer is most always no". "Your smile, your warmth and your laughter." I like the idea we grew up puritan Calvinistic. Why should He not have a sense of humour? Certainly looks like it, especially as irony. As for conversations with God you will find the issue is a great deal more serious than you think.
