Prayer of a Splintered Heart

This isn't exactly IC, but it's something I need to get out.

Prayer of Splintered Heart

Lord, why am I tormented so? My father in heaven, why am I made to
endure such torture? Why, with every beat of my heart, do I feel a pain
in my breast? Why am I haunted by her spectre when the lights go out?
Why much I lie awake at night because everytime I close my eyes I feel
her touch? Why must my spirit cry out in anguish and my psyche violently
rebel against these present circumstances? Why is my substance torn
asunder to leave me floating in this void? Why is it that when I begin
to find solace in my weightlessness, I am tosseld about by the chaotic
fury of the storm? Why do I so suffer because of one of Your most
glorious creations? Why is that upon the first pure cystalline note of
her melodic song, my hearing shatteres and the pieces embed themselves
in my softest tissues? Lord God, why must I experience this pain? If we
are ment to be, then please sedate me with the knowledge that all will
be right once more, else please wash my soul of this remaining residue.
Amen.

-Rikeshar Kaimelar, the Foresaken
