A Deserving Grief
Burning in flames
a life that was bent
Digging through sands
of sins lament
Dragging weary feet
dripping with sweat
A journey of despair
born of regret
Scrapping away skin
with claws of deceit
Turning in shame
from all you meet
Broken in twain
A soul in defeat
Desperate to merge
a broken belief
Pierced with pain
from silent screams
Razor wrist slaves
Necks ringed in wreaths
And in the dark
there's a light that stings
The eyes of the damned
that discard belief
I contemplate madness
after such twisted dreams
I am filled with sadness
from all that I have seen
A question of penance
brought from the grave
With so many decisions
yet none were saved
So what of the wasted
and Sloth, the thief
Swallow down apathy
and join the weak
You will fall forever
in a black abyss
From inlays of treason
on venomous lips
So with vision of Pestilence
and Famine's decree
The wrath of War
and from Death, defeat
I say unto you
the somber and meek
You've taken your life
and deserve your grief
