Dear Agony

Dear Agony,
Do you hear my heart breaking
With all your impossibilities?
Dear Agony,
Can you feel the pain
All your blind hope offers me?
Dear Agony,
Do you love to slice into me, tenderly,
As if I had a bulls-eye
Painted over my heart?

Dear Agony,
Would you let my weary soul rest?
Dear Agony,
Let the pain inside subside,
If only for one day.
Dear Agony,
I would GLADLY rip open my own skin
If only it would stop the burning sorrow within.
But only momentarily, do you let it fade,
Dear Agony...
