Shadows hung

The world is darkest when you find it impossible to forgive yourself

Shadows hung

by jack

 

 

Desperate on this darkest star

In stagnant air to breathe

Jagged reach of tended far

So much I can’t believe

 

A’ chained upon the barricade

Locked this welded form

Broken of mistakes I’ve made

Waiting on the storm

 

As here upon my knees I weep

Head within my hands

Crying tears forever keep

Aside from promised plans

 

My heart now sliced in silent view

The end beckons me home

This which I have done to you

My life it sits alone

 

Shadows hung on shouldered fall

Mud encrusts my feet

Pain besets this lonely call

As endless sorrows seep

 

“I’m sorry”, echoes in my head

Engulfed in rhythm’d flow

Offered of a broken man

Who prays for you to know

 

Pleadings from this sectioned seat

I beg with all I am

Calling out in sad repeat

This empty place I stand

 

I ask for your forgiveness

Myself I can’t forgive

This punishment lies endless

Of fractured days I live

 

The pain is ever coming

Though nothing I shall share

I face the sun so stunning

In hopes that you are there

 

But still the time is passing

Sand in glass does fall

Desolate amassing

And I deserve it all
