I bring so much shame to you
You lead me from the valley of shadows
Are the gods frowning?
In disdain do they look upon me?
I’m spent, desires remain unfulfilled
Or am I just being greedy?
To want the kiss of life, I breathe,
I’ll wear it like a tattoo.
It’s stopped what? The dreams
Harrowing, tear wrenching dreams
I lie, cry, why?
They scream, I still cry
Why do I lose my way?
Daily don’t I pray?
Heaven I will not go astray
Pray wipe these tears away.
I don’t like it here.
I have no where to run
Though I cherish the thought off home
I am so far away from it.
They are far too loud
In vain do I seek silence?
Oh! Why don’t you die the mutter, I see the mutter in their eyes.
And then I realise I am just a burden.
I’m burning, I shout to the heavens
Deliver me, douse me in darkness
The ignition stops, my souls wasted
But I can’t, stop loving.
Truth is my myth, joy my legend.
The promise land is but a mirage.
I tie the laces of my shoes
And set off…knowing not where.
The moon smirks and hides
I stumble, my feet feels the edge
My palms help me up.
I choose to sit and mourn.
It all ends at the very beginning or,
Does it all begin at the very end?
Disillusioned, I light my smoke
Through my nostrils, trail my secrets and disappear into the implacable night.
