I felt the pain in my feet
Felt it crawling to my knees
I begged the Lord
Lord would you please...

Let me sleep tonight
Let it fall all away
Darkness taking over
Peacefully taking me away

I met the Angel you sent
She is so perfect and pure
So of course as it goes
I fell in love with her

...

Feeling the warm
Touch on my skin
I knew in my heart
Of the impending sin

I was so fragile
When you left
I felt the victim
Of your theft

My heart was stolen
Yeah
And it's okay
It was left broken

Cold and gray
Yeah
And it's okay

I'll always love her

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” -Henry David Thoreau

Yes, you do in fact express desperation in this poem. Not everyone can carry off strong emlotional content (I can't). Well done.

lol @ the P.A.D. comment.

It was meant to show how much I've paced in circles thinking about the situation rather then stating that's why my feet hurt.

Thank you for the comments.
