The Road

I lost my way

Through the rocky road to faith

My ankles gave 

And I stumbled in love with you

Failure falsifying favor

Your face turned away

When I fell from grace

And my whispered promise putrid again

You staggered into the light

And in the darkness I was trapped 

Unable to catch you

When my tears filled the wells of hell

Reaching for what was no more

Words too hard to form

From sealed lips

Watching you flee every second in monstrous memoirs

Living a fib

The war withing clenches me into place

Away..So far away..from you

Where everything is nothing all over again

And I am wandering aimlessly

For a cure to this cancer

Crippled and contrite

Death will not let it end only begin ten times or more

You were the closest I came to heaven

But the beautiful hues have betrayed me

The heartache is true

Ringing through these lonesome canyons

Echoing my endless screams for your return

Because denial can't be done when the whole universe knows your love is leading me to the grinder for sorry souls
