~

Desperate on this darkest star
In stagnant air to breathe
Jagged reach of tended far
So much I can’t believe

A’ chained upon the barricade
Locked this welded form
Broken of mistakes I’ve made
Waiting on the storm

As here upon my knees I weep
Head within my hands
Crying tears forever keep
Aside from promised plans

My heart now sliced in silent view
The end beckons me home
This which I have done to you
My life it sits alone

Shadows hung on shouldered fall
Mud encrusts my feet
Pain besets this lonely call
As endless sorrows seep

“I’m sorry”, echoes in my head
Engulfed in rhythm’d flow
Offered of a broken man
Who prays for you to know

Pleadings from this sectioned seat
I beg with all I am
Calling out in sad repeat
This empty place I stand

I ask for your forgiveness
Myself I can’t forgive
This punishment lies endless
Of fractured days I live

The pain is ever coming
Though nothing I shall share
I face the sun so stunning
In hopes that you are there

But still the time is passing
Sand in glass does fall
Desolate amassing
And I deserve it all
