Valley of Sins

Valley of Sins

A Poem by Mahlo Metsys
"

Probably the darkest thing I've written recently that still maintains a poetic tone. There's no positivity in this one, but sometimes we just feel that way.

"

Somber lives laying in the fields of despair

Choirs are ravaged to scream the Lord’s prayer

Seven dark masses, and seven graves free

Burnt in my sins, they are coming for me

Voices of choices ring screams in my ear

Laughter and crying is all I can hear

I kneel at the altar of those who hate me

Gaze down at the flames now where saints cannot see

 

I stumble in the valley of death where I stir

Waiting for judgment my soul will concur

The cold brings me comfort from the scalding bright sun

While the moon just reminds me what can’t be undone

My blessings and deeds have betrayed what I wish

I forced out the light and embraced the anguish

Of darkness inside that had once set me free

Only to trap me and hide the small key

 

Villains and Martyrs are calling to me

No offer for light, for I’ll just disagree

This path was my own, the destination is hell

The heat of the fires soon make me propel

Look back at the trail of my sorrow behind

Look back at the faces of those I’ve confined

Why am I not sorry? Why do my tears roam?

Perhaps this abyss has been always my home...

 

I scream to the heavens, they’re abandoning me

I pray to all angels who refuse to help me

For I am not sorry, I am only in pain

Shrieking to God, though I know it’s in vain

A cold dark horizon, all hope in eclipse

I claw and I thrash, only death in my grips

I’ve chosen this path with a seal of my soul

Time has now come to satiate the black hole...
