The Sin Within ..

As the good Lord finished entertaining me with dreams,
My dreary eyes popped open to the sight of this beast,
That best reminds me that my identity is fully written,
In the depths of darkness of sin where no soul dares go.

Only then does it dawn that my sanity thrives only
In the company of fallen souls where the stench of death abounds,

A warmness within only creeps in when corpses lay by my side

For the rivers I feed from source down right from the serpent's mouth.

This serpent separates and takes away my being from light,
Places me in total darkness yet in darkness its impossible to keep sins and secrets covered,

Tied to my sins and tragedies I long for the one who saves and redeems

To redeem me from this haunted world and the solace I find in the warmth of caskets.

The savior, I was told, makes and brings life to dead men,
And for him I will hold on with these sins eating into my faith and breath
But in case he does not show tear this heart to pieces and feed it to the dogs

For the pain it brings and scars it inflicts are my trophies and medals of honor.
