Drowned In Tears

My heart weighs heavy on my soul,
For both are drowned in tears
The endless struggle in myself, 
Made worse throughout these years

I walk along this path to Hell,
While Deaths upon His throne
Beneath a sky as black as night,
This stranger goes alone

I hear the wails of those who've lost,
And again....will never be
As waves of crimson pound the shore,
Then crash back to the sea

Frozen in the place I stand,
My voice a silent scream
I fear this time I may not wake,
To end this tortured dream

As nightmares rage all hope is lost,
My mind can't take the pain
So I battle with these Evil thoughts,
But never speak their name

For just to voice such Evil words,
Could never be survived
And would bring the gates of Hell itself,
Upon a persons life

Though I run and run to escape the hold,
Of Death and all my fears
My heart weighs heavy on my soul, 
For both are drowned in tears

It may not be your intention, but this took me to those dreaded night thoughts from the devil's carousel where one fights hard to change the channel. Whether intended meaning or not, this poem is beautiful in content, rhyme, form and worked because it brought emotion to me. An admirable piece, Jeff ... CayCay
