Lesa MRK - I Cry Alone

Please join me in this place where I cry alone-
Please find me and lend me your strength.
Because I need you!
I need you so very much...
I yearn for you and your quiet understanding.

If I prayed for you, would you come?
Would you come to me and hold me in your arms while I wept?
If I prayed, would you be there?
Would you come to me, if I wished for you with all of my heart?

Because I wished...
And you did not come...
Because I called out your name through my tears,
And you were not there...
Because I prayed....
And my prayers for your arrival were not answered.

I've needed you so-
But you were so far away.
I called out to you with my sorrowed words,
Yet they weren't enough....
I begged God to give me the comfort of you-
But yet still....
I Cry Alone.

(October 24,1997)
