you see it there--
beneath the skin
muscles wrestling
deep within
it's just the matter
of the course
the junkie's cry
of charley horse
all over and over again
make you feel the pain of sin---
oh let this cup pass from me soon--
take from my mouth the silver spoon...

let it be done
hear my prayer
a murmer from my
lips so rare---
"mercy, mercy,
mercy please...
I pray this cup
shall pass from me...."

the silver spoon delivers lines
which scars all lives, creating binds
to nowhere hell in an abyss,
the spoon controls, enslaves the kiss -
like love, it captures, but it bleeds
the heart, the soul, turns blooms to weeds,
it eats from surface and within
and urges you begin again.
the silver spoon is such a lie
please put it down before you die....

(((((hugs)))) lovetoyou, girl...... *sigh*

Serenity,
Never had that problem, but enjoyed the read.

prayers for mercy ... prayers for grace
prayers for release from this painfilled place.
prayers for strength and serenity
prayers for all who need be set free

love you
me
