faithless darkness

o dark alleys we often find ourselves
o why me?, why this?, why now? delves and swells
the lion prowls at achilles heels
'tis when Lord enters and heals


but i can't see 
stuck in this stormy sea
evil lurks and tantalizes
a way out she fantasizes


should i bring him down 
should i scream and shout
should i speak of love
let my feelings out


a shouting bout
has no clout
he scares me so
i love him so


swallowed in wave of self-pity tears
mingled with fears
of living rest of best years
moving in defensive gears


faith lost, lacking lustre gloss
faith in each other to regain instead of toss 
'tis i of wavering faith
bringing upon self a slow death


soothe me with Your balm 
words of 32:8 psalm
teach me the way to go 
get me out of darkness and in your light glow
refresh my faith, a humble plea 
revive isaiah 46:9 in me
that You are God, and there is none like Thee

psalm 143:1
hear my prayer, o Lord, give ear to my supplications: 
in Thy faithfulness answer me,
and in Thy righteousness
