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~~
