However Ruined

burden of lonesome sorrow
enveloped all my being
consuming every ounce
solitude no longer
apathy prison
absence of empathy
gone and faded
it all left me
when you died
it all failed
it all failed in mid june
your life
slowly
leaving you
burdened with guilt
i shield my face
from the horrors of
watching you die
tarnished, withered, so frail
your beauty, still so strong
crying tears, tears of glass
now i’m left with nothing
now i’m left with no one
plagued with regret
i will adorn these scars
pray for the day
we meet
one more time
angels welcome you home
with open loving arms
a cherubs warm embrace
one final goodbye
one final goodbye
one final goodbye

Shadows and Dust
02:38
|
|
||
|
unheard cries leaving sullen lips
scorning a life
plagued with regret
wilting roses
underneath blackened skies
i am left with
endless yearning
oh god above
why dost Thou ignore my cries?
have you forgotten me?
a razors lustful
beautiful embrace
serrations
line my wrists
marks of cain
reminders of
Your bitter
horrid disdain
lay my soul
to a final rest
in an angels
warm embrace
searching for
his love buried beneath these
years spent longing
lord, have you forsaken me?

An Unholy Sacrifice
02:25
|
|
||
|
with wings of lead
and a spine
made of porcelain
how was i to fly?
riddled with grief
burdened in shame
every empty promise
unsaid
no solace left
in hymns unsung
my heart slowly fades away
fades away
seraphs
raining arrows
of grief and guilt
into my frail body
thorns of christs crown
impaling me
a constant reminder
of a bitter wound
left unhealed
buried in this shame
i slowly die
every day withering
angels above calling my name
|

4. |

|
so loving
why is every day cursed?
his embrace smothers me
will i be cleansed of his filth?
transgressions used as barter
my wrists weep
as the blood spills
baptized in sorrow
will this curse skip me?
or will i be burdened forever?
salvation
empty promise
search the sky
beg for answers
porcelain wings
eyes of glass
tears of blood
image scorned
pray
for atonement
beg
for tomorrow
with my one last dying breath
i will cry
to be cleansed
of all my wounds
no paradise is waiting,
a book of lies
chalice of blood
eucharist crushed
ripped from my heart
dead in my eyes
endless wander
in the land of Nod
search for purpose
He will not bring
grace fades away
your false doctrine
cleanse my heart
of all my wounds
for tomorrow
i hope
to die”
