The Blood of the Covenant

The eyes only bring distraction
Pondering in the dark
The grief turns into procrastination
Left wandering in the heart

Mind is heavy and filling fast
Apologize, yet again, as you spill onto the floor
How selfish is love when inconvenienced
Just blank stares from across the table, anymore

In earnest I plead for light
Empty words from dead books
Flip the switch and light the furnace
Starving from loss and the years it took
To say goobye

Fractured realities bleed into desperation
My soul is lost and I hope he's happy there
As for me and my house, we will serve no man
I don't expect you to understand, nor care

I'll tell you now
"Family" are the ones who reach down
Not look down
