At Your Mercy

I am at your mercy,
the stormy rains you weep,
and I beg you for a better tomorrow.
If only this love you could keep.

I cry out loud for those surrounding me.
Wishing for something better to come,
screaming as though no one could hear me,
"If there is a such thing as love, then please send me some!"

My voice softens there, as I whisper in full emotion,
tears streaming down upon my face.
I see every moment I've spent with you.
Times I don't want to, or can't erase.

I whisper, "let me be real with you,
I need someone who has a heart, that doesn't fade to black.
Someone who does give a damn,
as I've been to hell and back!"

"I'm not asking for you to be rich,
it's fine by me if you're poor.
I don't come from much myself,
but my heart can give you more."

"I'm not asking for everything, all at once,
just what only you can give.
To me that's something that comes from within.
I don't give a damn if nothing is perfect. What is in this life we
live?!!!"

Tell me good lord, whoever and wherever you are,
this world needs something more.
I'm not pleading just for me,
to grant a love we've all yearned for.

I am at your mercy,
please forgive these tears.
They are raindrops reflected with love,
in hopes of better years.

I will fall as I may,
and you take my hand to help me to my feet.
We all need this of life.
Let not our love be our defeat.

I don't want to cry of loneliness.
I need some dreams within my wake,
I give but all of myself, please let me know it can be
worth it, for heaven's sake.

I cry out for those surrounding me,
"let these hearts gather strength together.
If there is such a thing as true love,
please let it last us all forever!"
