Shadows


The rain is my beating heart.
Drops of pain and hope,
Flooding my mind with doubt,
Splattering my world with sin.

I pray one day,
My days will be filled with sunshine,
And that the light,
Will cleanse my darkened soul,
Returning me my shadow,
And thus my courage,
As I stand up to reality.

Time is running out,
I must find it soon,
Or be lost in a place of suffering,
A slave to the dark one;
The swallower of hope.  

I have drawn a map,
A road of blood, tears, and strength,
That I have carved into my body.
These tattoos will lead me to salvation,
As I search for self-forgiveness.

So here I am,
Walking alone,
Contemplating my life,
Praying to God,
Crying for pity,
Washing away my footprints,
As I disappear along the road of despair.


Marcel

Very spiritual and sad, as spiritual things are sometimes wont to be. Hope y' find what you seek ... if that is, in fact, what y' want to find.
