GUILT AND BLAME
Have you ever felt the searing heat
Of taking a post death breath?
Needles sticking through your flesh
Giving you rebirth’s caress.
The knife that stabs in your heart,
Can you still feel the pain?
Death was suppose to be a release
Let loose of guilt and blame.
Thoughts of those who were lost
Will they love me still?
A walking corpse with no heart
With the will to kill.
I can still see knives that strike
Into my loved ones flesh.
Screams of anguish stab my ears,
Silence is my only wish.
Why did I return from sleep,
Just to suffer once again?
I have passed beyond the grave
To live again with guilt and blame.
My penance is as a walking corpse
Forced to live on your blood.
Will you kill me once again
And let me rest in the mud?
Of taking a post death breath?
Needles sticking through your flesh
Giving you rebirth’s caress.
The knife that stabs in your heart,
Can you still feel the pain?
Death was suppose to be a release
Let loose of guilt and blame.
Thoughts of those who were lost
Will they love me still?
A walking corpse with no heart
With the will to kill.
I can still see knives that strike
Into my loved ones flesh.
Screams of anguish stab my ears,
Silence is my only wish.
Why did I return from sleep,
Just to suffer once again?
I have passed beyond the grave
To live again with guilt and blame.
My penance is as a walking corpse
Forced to live on your blood.
Will you kill me once again
And let me rest in the mud?

It may be my own take but it reads like a searing breakup between lovers ... And I agree the last stanza is magnificent!
