God
I write this to you,
This is not a prayer
Not such an inconsequential waste of air,
No, no
I can hardly breathe 
From on all the prayers
Wasted on your ears,
Nor stand...
From how long I've knelt at your feet.
This is a letter 
Sent from a grieving sinner
Written 
Whilst still clutching the hand
You stole from him
From me.
Two hands ,in fact,
One so small
I hardly noticed
When it ceased clutching me.
I write this to ask 
Not to pray
As prayers seem to have no worth to you
Surely not mine at least.
I ask only 
That you return them to me.
Let me clutch these hands 
So tightly 
Till they might return my grasp.
Because as I am right now
I doubt, I could ever let them go.
Please....
God 
I write this 
Not to pray but to beg
Give them back to me.
Give them back.
I can't let them go.

Written a while ago. Just decided to submit. Hope everyone enjoys.

You know i am muslim , and in islam it is said that when you pray something from these three will happen , 1) you will either get what you have prayed for or 2) that prayer will shield you from something bad that was going to happen to you or 3) when the world end you will get goods from that prayer and you will even wish that no one from your prayers was accepted !!!
i really think you should keep believing in God ALLAH since he forgives every sin even the biggest ones ! and he is protecting you from alot of things  ... and he said in the coran that people may hate something but in reality it's good for them and they may love something but in reality its a bad thing for them !!! i don't know what have you lost but remember always that there are people suffering more than you !! i wish you all the best .
