Carvings Of The Sins

its the daily sins we go through

Time has come
the damage done

your fear i see twisted
as it rests in your heart

an angel fallen from heaven
onto this punished world

ill survive the pain
but cant you hear the devil's cry ?

the voice resides
the calling is rather poisonous

your laugh is screeching in my veins
i want to tear the heart from my chest

i know that you'll succeed
to the very last breath

the tear of the damned won't help you
your strength is vague

the eternal flames those burnt
the damned are here

mercy they cry
none to be shown

the fight of eternity will it ever end
would they ever surrender

anger..greed..lust
are laying in our hearts

are we not weak to face them
would our souls be cursed or cleansed

i think we have not forgotten those days of battles
yet we tend to live on

the nightmares will they ever end
or will the darkness take over
i tried my best in the end
all that mattered was my heart going
to shreds...

trying to find the answers
i hope i might someday..

While reading this, I felt my soul and heart being wrenched by your description. Words like "mercy" "eternity" "Nightmares" are powerful tools you have used to describe the fiery experience of your poem. Powerful, well placed, and adequate length...good job!

I liked the length and format, not too long and in my opinion just the right length for this sort of horror/anguish piece.
