Relinquish

Wither into dismay my morose friend Sullen intent filters to the masses befriending the inner abyss A beacon, that beckons ferociously through this scattered mind Slither beneath the skin a thick black mist Feel the eternal torture as the torment wheel spins Whosoever denies me suffers malicious hands Blistering solitude engulfs you in a world so cold Salvation rocks the cradle as against sinful demands Relinquish all harbored disease buried deep within the soul Bequeath that you do not desire to devote and embrace me I am the remedy of such anguish and pain Stand up and come forth to claim your right beneath me Misery barricaded for no witness to bare Such a shameful and sad heart that reeks of havoc Mindful gestures turned to herded habitual nature Look away, discard, and burn this chaotic world Praise be the bounty brought forth to wash away the memories Contract, devote, relinquish and there shall be no more Amidst at the aguish laden road it ends in darkness Close your eyes my old friend, slip away forever more For you have no more cross to bare!
