drop me to my knees
all you deities, upon your lofty thrones.
Drop me to my knees, rob me of my strength,
infest me with the most painful of all your plaugues,
but leave for me just love...
Lock me away from all the glorious heavens
that any of you command,
rob me of my breath, my youth, and all the worldly possesions i have...
until i am weary to my bones...
leave me only love.
One small voice crying out to me in all the universe's emptiness...
A hand...
A touch...
gentle upon my brow.
Let me stumble in blindness, all the weary day long...
toil in the shabby hatred of humanity,
and return home each night,
to the welcome arms of love...
