Alicia Keys, My Unfulfilled Desire For You is A Daughter Wailing


And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”-----------------------------[Alicia Keys I love you. I want just a crumb from your table of endearment]




My hands can't cover my ears sufficiently
to stop her shrill screams from piercing my ears.
I try to hold my desire
like it was my own daughter in my arms and rock it to sleep...
but "it is severely demon possessed"
Alicia, holy woman of David have mercy on me
free me from my ills and my
unquenched yearning to be with you (the gravest of evils)
Let me place my arms around your waist and
lay my chin on your shoulder
and cry
because you make me so happy

To spite your disciples
I will yell out my love for you
even if it means chasing,
even if it means worshipping at your feet
exclaiming "help me!" "love me!" "help me!"
understand me:
you don't have to let me eat at your table
just let me eat the crumbs that fall -
of your exuberance
your contagious smile
your beautiful face
your voice smooth like silk
please just to be near you,
that's all
even if I'm on the floor

So great is my faith
in us, Alicia, that it has the power
to grant me what I have wanted specifically:
because you and me together forever is the healing of my daughter
so drastically sick
(my desire moaning in spasms)
With you in my life I want to live again
and rest in your arms as your husband
this "very hour"


(Please Alicia, love me, have mercy on your servant Tony!)



------------------------------------[Matthew 15:21-28 NKJV]
Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed." But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us." But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, help me!" But He answered and said, "It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs." And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table." Then Jesus answered and said to her, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
