I can't get over it
This feeling that consumes me
It eats my soul bit by bit
No one else can see

I don't have the courage to ask it why
As it sits, staring with hate
Does it truly wish me to die?
Or maybe it's confused, it can't relate

I don't sleep well at night
It gets angry now
I beg with all my might
That it would understand somehow

But it refuses to hear
And it punctures my soul
Despite my many tears
It leaves a bleeding hole

As I search for my escape
It renders me weak
I hope I can reshape
But it won't allow me to seek

I'd tell it how much this hurts
If I could only speak
As my happiness reverts
I stay humble and meek

In desperation I beg
To God above
That a hope he'd shed
A sliver of his love

But it eats my prayer
And I stay in pain
No light for me, no Savior
My tears fall in vain

I feel myself decay
Poisoned through and through
Slowly I dissolve each day
So I'm reaching out to you

A saving grace
Please help me to live
To see your face
Every sin you'd forgive

But my presence here is a cancer
My scent a disease
So, who here would answer
My most desperate pleas

What does it matter?
My life here on earth
All it ever does is shatter
After every rebirth

Forgotten, I give up hope
Letting my life go
It ties me up by rope
And stabs my soul

And I bleed...
So I am human...

I liked it.  Its dark in more of a musty way.  Sorta like something what a ghost might say.

God bless,
In Christ,

i Like it a lot. Once again an excellent piece of work. I could relate well to this. I especially loved the ending, very hopeless and sad.

"But it eats my prayer
And I stay in pain
No light for me, no Savior
My tears fall in vain"

ive so often felt like this. As if your prayers only hit the ceiling...

Keep up the amazing work!

A sign in  the wind
ringed by the falling petals
Alone
Amongst black roses
