Ishaisms

Abandoned- the last prayer

Only a little light left

I’m only standing for now,
only a little light left in me
Years of having been strong
will not cut it this time
I need strength of a different kind

Life is cruel for the abandoned,
only so many ways left to deal
only so many favours
I could have asked of my soul
and now it pleads for mercy

There’s only a little light left
there’s only a little faith, God
Tell me, are you listening
because if I ever needed you truly
it is now, this very moment
