I feel the cold Kissing my hate stained flesh It burns The pure snow is falling from the sky Landing on my skin
I wish that touching something pure Could cleanse me But it cannot I'm left filthy Sordid with human sin
I look to want I want Thinking it's up so high But I'm so down low
I can't reach I can't reach
Could I ever get it Can I make myself worthy Can I wash away the weight Or is it the weight that drives me To be better than I was
Maybe I'm cleaner than I think And what I seek Is simply unrequited Perhaps that would be so much worse Because if I'm covered in filth I can wash But I can't force love on anyone Not even someone I spend my life with If they don't wish for me then they won't
I don't know what to do I don't know what to do
Can I simply have This one thing It's so beautiful I just want to make it mine
Is it possible For my desire To know what I want And for it to hide from me
I hope and I pray That it doesn't make me pay Make me pain for love unrequited I don't know if I could take the pain
I need a handful of pills Pills to pop to take away the pain I down them with a drink
I feel dizzy My vision goes blurry
I'm falling I hit the ground All I see is black
There are people now standing in the rain But not just rain Their tears Are drowning them
They fall to their knees Lamenting Staring at a hole Six feet deep And two feet wide
I purged my soul from my body Bringing burden with the love Felt for me in life And grief for the loss Of my soul so soon
I see the pain Passing from person to person
The dissemination of depression due to Decimating my right of decision To dismiss my gift to be alive I'm Dead
I see them from the sky Their sorrow seeping from them Sweeping away the land
I abhor the fact the that I can not repent the choice I rue But there can be no retribution For what I've done
I'm long since past Dead to the world But not to the eternals They don't know where to place me Evil balanced With good deeds done in life
Placed in Purgatory Stuck in Limbo Lingering Between Hell and Heaven
I wander here Wondering Did I sacrifice my soul to sin In my not so long life
I never bathed in Grace and Glory The clouds covered the luminance Perpetual dark Always dying to fill my searching eyes With some magnificent light Of Glory from God
But only ever falling on flames Oh so far below Oh so far
I heard someone Begging and pleading Half collapsed to the floor Telling me that there is always a chance To rectify the wrongs To reform to the right
I answered With How could I ever do such a thing And get away with it I stole my life away From everyone I held dear
I made them question Everything they did Everything they said All to the point Of contemplating repeating My own mistake
I walk down a path Leading to a tunnel But there's not just a light It's split down the middle One side is blinding light The other a darkness so thick
I made it to the end Where in lies a podium Maned by not so much a man But one man's skeleton Robed in black with a boat behind
He look to me and said There's been a discussion And my sorrow is boundless But my pity is none I'll be the captain for your boat Not the escort up your stairs
I look to him and said I felt the burden of ****** It shook the earth to the core I knew where I was headed But I felt so much better than that Hell up there
He told me that I was not the first to see The world in such a dim light But also that I wouldn't be the last Because hate and sorrow burden the soul So much weight pulls one into hell
He stretched out his arm towards a boat Gesturing for me to climb aboard I stepped over the side and took my seat I prepared for the worst imaginable things But what I saw so far outweighed Even what my own twisted imagination Could conjure from it's depths
People tied to cliffs with crows pecking at them And eating their entrails The Gluttons of life Now could not eat any food unless rebuked by their stomachs The adulators of life Either having their implements of sin destroyed or sealed The ones that implemented avarice Now have sealed closed fists
I looked back to limbo And saw that ethereal form named Virgil I cried out to gain his attention He looked to me and said I already guided one through this Hell I cannot lead another
I turned back to face the winding path I saw so many cliffs leading further down into Hell Nine circles in all And three seemingly lead dominate circles within the final one
I asked where I was to go I was told That suicide woods Was the second circle of The seventh circle
After I heard I was going down that far I looked around the boat I found the simple black ominous scythe That death had brought with him I brought the blade to my neck And I ripped up as hard as I could
