Wails from Gehenna

I let myself fall into guilt, time stands still, you say your heavy words while I try to grasp them, I’m tormented by the sentences they utter speaking through my behalf as I try to mutter You’ve led me in this dark abyss the void fully consumed me feelings all blacked out, tell me why I cannot find the light, for your spirits are weakening me I’m trapped in this darkness, the demons that come from your mouth tear me thoroughly, my yells are hollow, unable to be heard, the words grab my fragile arm pulling me to my fate This lamentation is immortal in this realm, the voices call to me from the distant hallways, I gaze into the mirror in my hands, gleaming with rusted metal revealing a distorted image of me transparent and translucent My appearance cannot be seen as my tears fall to the surface, they break the glass within every drop, I then vanish as the vestiges of my heart meet its time, my light is cast away, the stygian has met me filling my heart with the darkness of mine.

Thanks for sharing this. God bless you. Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
