Torn Apart

I am torn
Between love and lust
Stuck in the past
Lost in the present
Future is unknown

Lonesome self
Running back and forth
Into the night
Shadows of despair
Light is unforeseen

Walking on water
Into the sea
Soul is thrown deep
Waves of turmoil
Guilt, free-spirited

Desperate attempts
Falling through the cracks
Dirt and soil
Crumbling over me
Six feet down bellow

Calling angles
The Heavens above
Take me with you
To be born again
Peaceful with oneself

Blank slate
Turning a new leaf
Rid of red sin
Soul is uplifted
Cleansing a black heart
