First prayer

When i was young and lost in the awkwardness of youth,, lonliness grew like a lilly in the field. There came a day when a friend arrived to make lonliness pain the heart less.

The two saw each other from the corners of my mind, they walked towards each other and met eyes nervously. Lonliness and Lust said not a word to each other but shook hands instead, both smiling like old playmates. It was lonliness that saw lust could ease it's pain, and then it was poor sweet Richard, outside their agreement, who would be moved by their friendship. When lonliness romped with lust it would make the corners of Richard's mouth grow wider, and set his gaze to the nearest maiden. His eyes always began in their eyes when lonliness led the way, soon lust would take the lead and he'd put his eye to the legs and hips around, wondering how he might break the silence, and play the moment like a piano.

it was lonliness that made him fall for her breath, but lust that pulled him to her neck. He knew her neck. he knew full well how it might make her pull him closer and whisper love in his ear. This way lonliness loved lust, and the two clung close to one another, pulling Richard about to satisfy them both.

He of course was as bound to them as they were to each other, although he was unaware how they schemed against him. When love would leave him lust always found the next best thing, and let lonliness sleep soundly for another night. this way they fed one another.

soon lust got greedy, and lonliness grew hungry, they bickered inside Richard's belly, as he wept for the maiden he missed while on the breast of the maiden he just met. He began to gather word of their pact. He pounded his fist into his chest and cursed them. He starved them long and demanded they stay quiet.

they would stir in his sleep showing him the faces he wanted to forget. They let him feel the bliss he knew so long ago. he'd wake up in mourning for where he could never go back, and thus lonliness and lust were set free again, whiskey soaked and stupid, they took Richard to wake up beside another regret. He woke up hearing her coughing his name, and loving his body.

"The two of you have plotted against me again, and again you put me into satan's arms! If there was a knife to cut you out of my heart i'd tear you out here and now!"

they grew quiet and fearful of him, yet their hunger grows constantly, they mount armies against him. They push tears from his eyes and claw at his heart. They bring him dreams of lovers he'd never had, but always wanted. They bring dreams of dying alone. They show him the day he will be eaten by wolves, crying out to no one, and missing love with his last breath.

Poor Richard wakes to look up at God, praying silently of his slavery to himself, and wishing for Jesu to take him away into his sweet arms.
