Prayer of Loss

Oh, Lord, please take away my heart
and tear the foolish thing apart
and put it back again, I pray
so cold and hard that none
may find a way
to enter there again.

Excuse me, Sir, for this bold request
but I must have your very best.
Despite tones too hard to bear,
give this soul your best repair,
but leave it empty.

For emptiness conceals no pride
to be destroyed when a man must divide
from the one who means the world to him.
His hopes, his dreams becomes dim
and he loses her…
