Say what you will... The poem below needs a bit of improvement as I'm fighting writers block...
----------------------------------------------

I pray to Jesus...
In vain?
Dying to my lusts
In pain?

My heart is so cold
I could freeze this way
I need that fire
To melt my heart so cold
Replant the seeds I've never reaped
The death of a coward
My heart is so cold

In Hades I rediscover flames
Higher than I've ever imagined
I close my eyes
Intense the flames that never go away

My worm,
I puked
Forgiveness
Red handed
A hole in each hand
Feet pinned

Where is my glory?
Where are the promises?
Lifted up in praises
My woman lies on her back
Curled up in a wicker backet
With a lead lid

You shouted at me to "LIVE!"
And I've died inside
All your provision fed the fool
And I've died inside

Does she pray, or am I prey?

This is very interesting. It is put together well and it is provoking. I loved the word choice, and it is quite good.

Hey, Thank you.

Does she pray, or am I prey?
