Selfish Prayer Poem by Justin Reinalda

I'd really like to be happy
I can't remember how that feels
It was a lasting feeling
My loneliness steals

I admit it, I'm alone all the time
It's partly why it won't change
I'm more afraid of the wrong thing
It's all I know, is that strange?

I wish I could do something
I just feel so alone lately
It takes all the motivation
All the ability right out of me

I want to give myself to someone
And be full again, with everything good
I want a chance to love again
Please give me that, if You could

Send someone that sees my heart broken
And is patient with me anyway
Someone that leads the simple life
And wants me around, every day

I'd like my faith to paint a picture
Tell You exactly what I see
Truth is, I don't know anymore
Maybe this is all You have for me

I keep wondering why
Why'd You make me this way?
I want more than anything to love
And You've taken it away
