Prayers Unanswered

I prayed for you why quite a hopeless canto 
indeed the angels turned their backs sighing 
refrain from singing lovely hymns the cherubim 
clinging with desperation while the holy spirit
 
actually gloated above the bishops nest of pure
kindness I gathered my prayers for you would sink 
straight into unanswered levels of unconsciousness 
a sleep state something right out of Dante' inferno
 
ravished by fire hindered by the rush of smothering wind 
splashed within the sheer comfort of finally being drowned 
at your own baptism feasting on unsavory malice craving 
bitterness that you left behind with murder mayhem 

confusion and haste pleading with me to pray for you 
what kind of jester sends prays to heaven directly 
from the dark one hissing cackling taunting laughter 
that you bestow merely by simply asking this of me 

why my mere soul tattered and torn just from simply 
witnessing your presence your disturbing earthly acts 
and you looked so vague so in need of this one last wish 
uttered to enter into the mighty kingdoms passage

that never feels pain never bleeds never coughs 
never sigh why only in your presence would 
heaven fall and crumble beneath the black sea 
you'll continue to reach for me until you realize 

that you're already deceased evil so valid no tears
for you no burial no mourning no grieving pure evil 
allowed to go on living on earth suffering all your deadly 
vices forever smelling, choking, smoking forever coughing 

forever dying the same death I shant pray for you Siar
I shall continue praying for my own soul hindered continuously
by your untimely wrath breathing suffrage and carnage
surrounding me with the infamous selfish hatred of mankind

Very sad heartfelt poem. Those that we love at times do hurt us the most, and I wonder if they realize they are doing it. Or do they just love to see us grieve. I feel sometimes prayers are not answered .
