The Lone Bone

Free-falling in the fire, 
In the fire of desire
Of your coal soul
As darkness takes its toll

Walking into the shadows of the unknown
I am lost and found like an odd lone bone
I groan in shame, 
I wish you would stay
Life is not a game; 
You’ll learn the hard way

I try to avoid the depths of distressful dystopia
I cry aloud in empty echoes
Your words are as sharp and gruesome as a claw
Now, my shattered soul shows

You are being insecure and inconsiderate 
I’m forever bound in a wasteland of lies
I do not understand your forest of regret
This is getting out of hand as time flies

Forgetting the hardships I bore for many years
Forgiving the predators that brought victims to tears
Overcome your obstacles, for you’re not alone
Consumed by gloom, following your footsteps into the unknown

Pound to the rhythm of my heart
Then, you’ll find your light that won't depart
From your arms of fearless, frozen embrace 
You left me with nothing, but a wretched trace

Free-falling like a skyscraper above and below
Let the wicked wind blow away the weeds in many a row
I want to be sober mentally and emotionally
Your captivity isn’t a dwelling place of set-me-free

You have manipulated me and you constantly won’t admit it
At least I have a merciful heart, a shard of Christ's mercy alit 
I have dealt with this pain, so I want to put it down the drain
Bipolar got my busied, bruised brain, feeling insane all over again

But, I know it is definitely not your fault 
My heart hesitates to beat in repeat; it’s bitter as salt 
Your echoes of your fickle ways are astonishing to me
I hear the hums of drums as they pound oh so loudly

Free-falling in the fire as darkness takes its toll 
You’ll learn the hard way that you’re beautiful 
You put yourself down too much, it is mind-blowing
I’m a lone bone in the shadows of the unknown, ever-glowing 

Your coal soul is in flames
Shame, you throw me the blames
Tired and sick of your mind games that you play
Waiting for departure for the both of us today 

It’s about time to wipe off these tear stains
You tear me apart at the smallest seams it seams
You don’t understand the endless pangs of pains
You share your input, but just listen to my solemn screams

My broken dreams will be put back together
My mind is spiraling mad in an abstract blur
Endure till we can no longer endure…we will find a cure…
Ensure that we will make it alive without having to injure

The stings of reality can sure hurt the weak and struggling individual…
That’s why I believe wholeheartedly that we need to pump up inner faith fuel 
So, we can be selfless and heedful of others' needs
Neglect greed and pull out the unnecessary weeds 

Comfort us, even in times of hardship
We must maintain our strong-bond relationship 
I ought to get a grip and mend our trust rip 
It’s a fervor friendship beyond sky-high favor
But, only He can be able to…infinity forever…
 Sprinkle salt and pepper upon my distasteful flavor
Your coal soul vanishes for a few moments in life, 
Maybe, someday, you can successfully get rid of strife
Unexpectedly, I free-fall into the shadows of the unknown that cuts me open like a jagged knife
All my life, I am scarred and surrounded by callous hatred and an no-filter society, much like the dilemma of a divorce and separation between the husband and the wife

wow, this is intense. I love the "free falling" parts in there, (I just listened to that song by Tom Petty earlier today.) That final stanza is strong, in fact the whole poem is strong, I mean, like a lament. I hope everything is ok.

(: Thank you for your lovely, considerate comment on here. Yeah, I like the phrase 'free-falling'...it's awesome in all sorts of bizarre ways. Tom Petty's Free Falling was part of my inspiration of this song, including Free Me by Sia. Yeah, I go through ups and downs, but I am fine. Thank you~~
