Thorns
--BlossomMonyei--
A path of thorns
Thorns of many kind.
Thorns that'll ruin a life
Thorns that hypnotize to pierce your leg.
I've been taught
Avoid thorns
The pleasure
I barely resist
All it takes is a foot
I fought not to
But pleasure grew
Desire became hungry.
I enjoyed as it entered my foot
Forgot the consequences
Pleasure left, Desire satisfied
A great penalty, I was shocked
I knew I couldn't continue the journey
I'll struggle to walk.
I gather herbs for it to heal.
But it won't.
The real deal hasn't resulted
I pray to a God I've never known
I won't do it again I've sworn
"You are my lifeline"
With struggle I'll walk
Even if it'll turn worse
Though peace, in my heart it's absent
Lord with you, peace lies.
