Don'T Let Go

Oh morbid silence, end at last Will I awaken from this nightmare? Does ardent love belong to past? I cannot know. Refuse to dare. The sins of flesh beyong contol Your touch is sweet, yet heart is hollow The struggles're taking their toll You will not lead. I will not follow. So split your soul, divide your mind Your body's strong, yet spirit's weak. Do you choose hope or mere pride? Refuge or life... What do you seek? Dispelled's the myth, reprieval's wanted Repressed rage meets it's demise Yet I'm still lost and I'm still haunted But what I wrongly idolized. Release is granted, yet I mourn... Is this the cost of karmic debt? Forsaken, damaged and forlorn And yet refusing to forget. Is there still flame when heart is torn? Does it still burn when soul is slain? To die... It means, to be reborn. To live is to immune to pain. The tears I shed don't mean a thing And so I'm falling, deep and low... Yet I still pray and I still cling To hope that you won't let it go.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
