Inside

I know it’s a lie
Inside
Dark and cold
Its slips inside
Black and thick 
It grips inside
Slowly leaking
It drips inside
And it rips
as it takes
And pulls inside
when its done
All is dead
All is gone
All has fled inside
Destined to be 
I cant escape
Chained to my heart
That it has raped inside
Eyes that bleed
Eyes that cried
Eyes that fear 
As it died inside
Hope long gone
Replaced by fear
Heart so cold
Replaced by a tear inside
Why is it so hard
Why does it hurt
Why does it always feel
Like I just been burnt inside
Why cant I stop
Why cant I feel
Why cant I just be me
And be real inside
But I don’t 
And so it steals
What I have 
What I feel 
What I long for inside
Trying to grasp
It slips through my fingers
As I watch it fall inside

the message my soul gets, is to save urs, but i feel im falling with u i sense, too far from our savior,so it leaves me to praying for heaven sent, to save us from damnation , for evil is lurking, i hesitate, left still searching thru what remains, bfor all is at stake.............. Sincerely Jen
