standing in the field of crosses
im looking at all the sins
so many faces filled with pain
it makes you wish the end

eyes like clouds in a foggy day
the feeling of a life now burned away
drained of every ounce of hope, and drowning for a hand to hold
just please,pull me away from the dead and cold

hair matted to a bloody face
i cant go on, i havent slept in days
i hear those words, yet i dont understand
i can only clutch my heart in my hand

i couldnt believe you just let me choke
now im stuck with the life you broke
i can feel it in the ground, and in my very breath
my life is jumbled into a cold dark mess

im sorry, i have failed
ive let my faith go completly stale
i cant redeem the blood ive lost
i cant retrieve that holy cross

Hey there dude, I think maybe I see a different side to this poem, a side that blames your hurt and pain on God. I feel sad that you shall feel this way, God knows what He is doing, He has already got a great plan, all we are asked to do is walk the path we are in, and ask Him for his hand, so he can lead us, so He can help us, comfort us, so He can be His everything. Chin up, the worse is still yet to come. And the trials you are going through now are just making you stronger for the rest of your life. Okay, im random I know, and SUCH a hipocrite right now . Good job though, see ya round!

Brian im gonna kill u but then I could read ur poems. You are so good. Im doing so bad right now. I cannot write. I have one I am working on but its not getting anywhere till my sister (who is professional writer) gets a chance to crittique it. So it is suitable to post. Its really prosey .

FAntablous write.  Punctuation but good imagery as always and beautiful use of words as always too. Wish i had half the talent you had, so unfair.

Off to be all sick with the stupid flu and pout. and write a story

Yes, this is another teenage literature.  So I can relate to you.  Nice peace, yet I did not like it as much as the previous ones I read.

I also thought you were refering to God in this poem and after reading the comments I re-read it trying to figure out where you were coming from but cannot understand. However, it is a great write and flowed very well and although i am not taking it the same way you meant it to be read it spoke to me.

I agree with free_spirit. Although god hasn't really been showing himself in my life lately, there are times when i know He has to be there. And i am definantly not the one to preach to any of you, my life is not even close to perfect...but Clockwork, that's too bad that you hate Him.

I really liked the poem Temp I wish you hadn't got kicked off!!

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
