Purification

Purification

A Poem by Elvis Gilley
"

Purity comes at a cost my dear friend.

"

Burn

        Oh soul,

May I

    this affliction forego

 

Depressions tears

        I cry

please release this flesh

     so that it may die

 

Flesh of folly

        fall upon my knees

        for emotional distress

falls around me

 

If only once

his peace I felt

    Surely then

this animosity would melt
