~~~Death Grinned~~~

February, 2017

Oh my soul- oh my heart I'm gripping
Holding fast to what's ripping
As my tears fall among rain dripping
And I push forward despite my tripping

What's it like to live to crawl
6 feet small and 2 feet tall
Broken down all in all
Feeling like you're about to fall

Try to resist the daily fumble
Keep walking as you crumble
Just once more before you tumble
As a broken boy you stumble

Keep on walking against the wind
Punishment for all you've sinned
Against the rock you've been pinned
Death looked at you and grinned

To your knees you finally fell
At the feet of the Angel from Hell
In this moment try not to dwell
As you're dragged to your unholy cell

Through the years and white-knuckled fists
I've come to learn nothing exists
That can keep you from life's horrid twists
That can keep your blade from your wrists

And now tonight in hell you sleep
Because you cut just once too deep
And everything you fought to keep
Crashed to the floor at Death's feet
