Woe Is Me!

Lips that speak deceit, 
                             into hungry souls, with doom and gloom,
                                        and of times gone by
                                     till the mocking bird flies
                          into a spiderweb of  pasty white strings, 
                              that brings a bitter taste in my soul. 
                             Knowing that life goes on and on. 
                                 My memories forbid my heart 
                             to ever love or be loved in return.
                              Lessons that I have learned 
                               do cause my heart to spurn 
                              this mass called exsistence. 
                                 I pity the soul that is born 
                           into this world of chaos and despair, 
                                    no solace anywhere...
                          The eternal clock ticks and tocks
                                       and bitterly mocks 
                        the empty, crying, agonizing voice
                            of one lost soul who makes 
                                     the wrong choice...
                      and falls in love with three wrong men,
                          never finding a kindred spirit, 
                                        my life, to join within...
                          Only Jesus can help my heart to heal
                                  the scars from past lovers,
                                       their anger with zeal
                                  tryimg to sabatoge and kill 
                           my innocent heart..at their will.
