TEARS OF A TROUBLED SOUL

When I was in trouble,
You turned your back
Away from me.
Hey you,
Yes you
Listen to me.

My life is vanishing like smoke
My body is burning like fire,
I have lost my passion for food.
I am nothing but just dry bones
I am like an evil bird in the desert.
I am like a lonely bird on a rooftop.

Because of your dark heart
Sands are now my food,
And my tears
Are now my water.
You picked me up,
And you threw me away.

Look at my suffering
And have mercy on my soul
Defend me and set me free,
I am filled with disgust,
Because you have refused
To help me out.
Please listen to my cries.
