[ I prayed last night for the first time in two years, ]

I prayed last night for the first time in two years,
a prayer of need and greed.
I don't think God cares, if he's even there
I asked for you and me and for all eternity

So when I wake up will you be there?
Passed out in less than necessary circumstances
Will it be my imagination? Should i wake you?
Or watch you sleep in peace and dream about days to come,
We have forever, That is what i asked God for
And God answers prayers right?

Please please, tell me i'm right
please please, give me your heart

You have to cause i sold my soul to the devil and i gave my life to the Lord.
I've got nothing left but a wish i made upon a star, a horse shoe that hangs above my door and this clover i keep in a locket shut tight, along with your picture, this is what i wish for. i keep it close to my heart, cross my fingers and pray for your love.

These superstitions keep me going, I know its all fake, just like the rest. But i need all the help I can get.
A boy like you and a girl like me, that would never be destiny.

What do you think?

    I could definitely feel a deep longing here as I read this poem. Sure, God answers prayers, but not always with a "yes." Just like parents cannot always say yes to their children without putting them in danger.

    Hopefully though, this love will be a real one for you...if this is based on real life.

    I do think that God appreciates prayers spoken with true faith in Him as savior, creator and ruler of the universe...sometimes I've had the tendency to use Him as somewhat of a good-luck charm (it sounds like you've done the same). He doesn't work that way. All my best wishes to you!

    Interesting Piece

    A cry for acknowledgement, but sometimes God answers in whispers "wait." If you truly want an answer, see:
