The coldest sounds They fly about me, all around Stinging my skin Attempting to get in I lay down on the grass But the snakes bite as they pass So I run to the flood But the leeches drain my blood To the sky I turn For God's grace I yearn But it can't be found I'm left below on this sinking ground The demons claw at my flesh I cry out, "Why put me through this test!?" What deed has been done wrong? To deserve this punishment for so long The world turns on me To my sanctuary I flee But Affliction is there My reflection doesn't just stare It twists my mind and tells me to die I wish to obey, if I could only comply But the demons make me stay They make me suffer day after day As I am strung up by the wrists They stab my soul and I am fire kissed My burning corpse still feels the pain Though it lay, slaughtered then slain One trickle of light touches me I open my eyes and can finally breathe When the smoke clears I feel the presence of tears But no, not tears, it is blood My only hope was a dud Affliction stands above my remains He dances on my grave, pounding in my pains So for now I sleep Wake me up when you're ready to care and keep Please wake me before I die again To suffer always, without friend As I waste away My faith decays I suffer Alone "areyouinorareyouout? eitherwayyoucan'twin." he said.

Whoa! What images! You made me sit up and take notice. I am not normally much into the blood poetry -- but you did grip me with some of your lines. God knows, you used lots of imagry. I think it's good. |
