I'll be praying for you.

Okay so this is the draft for a poem I've been fiddling with. It's about well, someone, a specific person. Some of you know who it is. But I also feel it can fit more than one situation, so take it however you want.

Style wise it really doesn't stick to having a pattern especially towards the end, though there's a loose rhyme pattern and a kind of natural syllabic pattern, I didn't plan it. So let me know what you think.


I'll Be Praying For You

Did you pray for me?
When you're
Too busy for a brother
And
Too tired for a friend?

Were they answered?
Between
Naming me a sinner
And
A child in the end?

Can you sleep at night?
Did you
Find a loving God to save me
Inside
That rock on which you stand?

Did you save yourself?
Tell me
If in the morning I'm in
hell
will there be blood on your hands?

He'll come back
If God is good
He'll come back

You were my Brother
I loved you.

the ending was my favorite part.

its a sad day when the person who u thought cared the most, never cared as you thought. its a sadder when you realize it.
