At The Alter Poem by Guarded Heart

Im here
At the alter
Looking up at Him
Why me?
A question no one can deny asking
Is it all over
Before it had started
Is this the end
When it was barely the beginning
Kill this lonliness i feel
Oh! how i long
For strong, steady arms around me

They followed her through the door
So long it was her
She was the one they hunted
It was her they set out to kill
This should be what it takes
To get to him to make a mistake

I see His face
And it's judgeing me
On something i can't see
Somewhere that i have screwed up
He's not letting me forget
The things, my horrid sins
Send me some reprieve
For the pain i'm in

They close in for the kill
They surround her, still
Thinking they have the right idea
Hitman draws his blade
Ready for the kill
They crave the taste of her dying
The killers and their demons

God, please send me some reprieve
from the pain of him leaving me
Here all alone
To survive
He walked away
Gave up on helping me
My senses are tingling
Is it You listening
No someones behind me
I feel it then
Cool metal against my skin
Throat slit

They think they have won
Their job is done
But they are wrong
He won't come
He doesn't want her anymore
They think this will get him all riled up
But it wont

It's all over now
They left her there
Left her dying
Dead at the alter
