Cold, Dark, Sinful World

"Well, I got bored...so I decided to write..."

I see you there

Lying alone

Lying broken

Lying unknown

You’re just a sparrow

With a broken wing

Who has forgotten how to sing

How to help

How to know

How to keep you safe

I burn these pictures

And leave these memories

Engraved in my head

For me to always feel

But never to forget

I lay here awake

In the cold, dark world of sin

Seeking for aid

That will never be given

Watch as I weep

Watch as I break

Watch as I slowly slip away

Can you see this heart

Not beating on the floor

The blood it seeks

Is not obtainable

I reach out for your hand

I reach out for your embrace

Give me another chance

To prove my ways

I lay here awake

In the cold, dark world of sin

Seeking for aid

That will never be given

Can you free me

From these locked chains

I want to sing again

I want to be again

I want to smile again

Free me from this hate

Free me forever

When I need you

I will call

Your name again

In the lonely dark

I’m blind without this cane

I’m blind without this guidance

Give me reason

To still be awake

I can’t figure out

What the importance is

I can’t figure out

What this need is

My hand is still trying to grasp

Onto this concept of love

I can’t understand

What this may mean

What this may bring

I need to know

I lay here awake

In the cold, dark world of sin

Seeking for aid

That will never be given

Tell me how to feel

How to see

How to hear

I need your guidance

I need your support

I will make an agonizing pursuit

To find these answers

I will send you my heart

In a package

That can be opened

Only by your hands

I’m slowly slipping away

Slowly dying

Slowly leaving this world

This cold, dark, sinful world

Stop me if you may

Stop me if you care

Stop me if you can hear

These cries that I make

These signs that I see

Aren’t helping me

They won’t  make me change

The decision I have made

I won’t discontinue

I will maintain

This feeling

I will not end my life

Just to prove to you

I will not wait

For you to say

What I need you to say

I will move on

I will dream again

I will sing again

I will heal

Gradually if I may

But at least my wounds

Won’t be open

For this cold, dark, sinful world to see
