Internal Death

WOUNDED LIKE A DYING SPARROW
HEART DRAINING OF ALL EMOTION BUT PAIN
THE VERY EXISTENCE OF MY SOUL SHATTERED
STOMACH WRENCHING IN PAIN AND DEPRIVATION
THE VERY LIFE DRAINING FROM MY BODY

BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN I FOUND MYSELF CARING

DARING TO HOPE AMONGST ALL DOUBT
THAT THIS COULD BE IT THINKING THERE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A LIFE
LIFE AFTER THE DEATH OF MY HEART
ONCE SO UNTHINKABLY SHATTERED

THEN TENDERLY PUT BACK TOGETHER BY YOU

FEELING THE VERY BREATH OF MY EXISTENCE LEAVING ME
WISHING I COULD LEAVE MY BODY MY MIND MY HEART MY SOUL
THE DEATH IS SLOW IN COMING YET SO PAINFULLY CLOSE
MY VERY EXISTENCE CRUMBLING ONCE AGAIN

THE DARKNESS OVERTAKES ME
FEELINGS OF RAGE ENGULF ME AT YOUR JEALOUSY

BODY MIND AND SOUL SCREAMING OUT
CAN YOU NOT SEE AND FEEL THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU
IS YOUR JEALOUSY SO BLINDING

CAN YOU NOT SEE WHAT I FEEL FOR YOU AND YOU ALONE
YOU BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE PITTS OF DARKNESS
BACK INTO THE LIGHT BACK TO THE LIVING

YOU BROUGHT BACK THE JOY TO MY LIFE RESTORING ME TO MY JOVIAL SELF
YOU MADE ME LAUGH AND JOKE AGAIN

YOU MADE ME FEEL ALIVE ONCE MORE
MADE ME FEEL FREE TO CARE AGAIN NOT JUST ABOUT YOU
BUT TO BE ABLE TO TALK AND LAUGH WITH OTHERS ONCE MORE

ONLY ONCE YOU BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE
YOUR JEALOUSY TORE THROUGH ME LIKE A JAGGED KNIFE
RIPPING AND TEARING ME APART

SENDING ME IN A DOWNWARD SPIRAL
AS THE SPARROW FALLS FROM THE TREE AND LIES DYING
SO DOES MY VERY CORE OF BEING

This is really good. I loved the third stanza. dying not dieing (unless of course you working in a machine shop) I love the battle that you have with your self being while being saved and how you've captured it.
