Pain and Agony

"Pain and Agony",

     As my heart pumps out the foul taste of despair on to the highway of 
emotions with a drop of a tear and the feelings of fear.

      I walk the path of loneliness and enter the memories of my past, then 
breathe in the stale air of our immediate pain knowing the future offers the 
same. 

      I then shut the windows of lust and closed the curtain of vain realizing love 
is not something just taken, but earned and still not certain and sometimes a 
burden.

      The pain is heavy, I've lost my way lord,  I've lost my sanity.  The memories 
play like a rerun in my head.  Oh God, I wish I was dead.

      I take my tool of destruction and place it in the hand of confusion and start 
the motion and place it to the storage of all this commotion.   

       As I sit stuck in here, once was a temple, now a pile of rubble.  My body is 
numb and filled with clarity, I pull the trigger of immortality and that's the end of 
instability and humility.

Sincerely, Pain and Agony
