Poem Artwork

Living on the outside


Looking through this lens called life


Running from connections


Turning every truth to lies


Tearing at emotion


Till all emotion in me dies


Looking in the mirror


Screaming up to God I cry


 


In my darkest moments


Distant voices call my name


Reaching out to find them


Searching through an endless maze


Emptiness still finds me


Ripping every hope away


Cursed by my existence


Eyes turned up to God I pray


 


Free me from these notions


Bring me love’s emotion


Life’s surely more than this


Break down my defenses


Beat me till I’m senseless


Heal me with your kiss


Bless me with your kiss


All I ask it this


 


Learning from the yearning


Churning deep inside no more


Void of love’s desire


Blindly searching for life’s door


Darkness so enslaves me


A spirit crushed upon the floor


Helpless now and broken


Whispering to God once more


 


Free me from these notions


Bring me love’s emotion


Life’s surely more than this


Break down my defenses


Bring me to my senses


Heal me with your kiss


Bless me with your kiss


All I ask it this
