No lover's arms are these I now embrace cold comfort courses through this leaden shell A ghost of former self now rules in place of one who's surely died and gone to hell Damn these un-seeing eyes that watched you leave this tongue that pleaded not with you to stay this heart that selfishly would not believe All drown in bitter fire now on this day For I will seek no council for my plight save that which demon spirits offer me with whom I will consort into the night inventing heinous wrongs been done to me Curse this my wretched pride that wouldn't allow the words I cannot speak , not even now . To slake this acid thirst I set again a score of fallen soldiers splayed about Not one of them that I may claim as friend in truth they mock my words , have ye no doubt I see you in the circle of your friends 'twas they who surely poisoned you on me before I had a chance to make amends those liars did conspire to set you free A curse on them and all their wretched kin they've meddled for the last I swear to you and I no longer need excuses thin for now anothers touch will see me through The soldiers scattered mute before the king attest , do not refute the words they bring |

Powerful writing Dr. I think we use denial sometimes to pad our heart from pain until we are ready to look inside and deal with the truth...atleast I know I have! Great work~ |

Doc....... I feel the power coming through on this one!!! It's forceful, and a touch of bitterness, but that's all real stuff. Everything can't be roses all the time! This is a powerful, extremely well-done work!! ~~~~~Live for Today~~~~~ taste every single moment |
