Messiah of mercy



Dear Messiah of mercy
Son of creator
I miss that want for you
I get lost in my nightmares
I lose my train of thought
I lose my voice sometimes
I lose my light
I miss that want for you
I miss your right
You teach me to love more
You are close in lesson
yet seem farther away the more I think
I fear forgetting you
I am empty without your heart
Messiah of mercy
Son of creator
Are you there?
When I wake I think I was just with you
When I sleep I am emptied of memory
Who am I?
I love.
Am I love?
I hate.
Am I hate?
I need.
Am I need?
I want.
Am I want?
Tell me Father of mercy.
Where will I belong if I feel like this?
Messiah of mercy.
I miss that want for your voice in my mind.
I miss you.
