Left Behind
Unknown worlds have pried me open
Breaking off the seal of my wounds
A body of lessons is torn at the seams
Guilt takes over the light of day
A curse is bestowed upon my shame
The noise enhances the echoes in me
Breaking the sweet silence I long for
Forgiveness hits rock bottom once again
It lays beside what is left of my will
Striving to overcome the darkness I live in
The longer it waits the farther it falls
My weepings strive to shake off failure
I count on what is left behind, deep inside
Breaking off the seal of my wounds
A body of lessons is torn at the seams
Guilt takes over the light of day
A curse is bestowed upon my shame
The noise enhances the echoes in me
Breaking the sweet silence I long for
Forgiveness hits rock bottom once again
It lays beside what is left of my will
Striving to overcome the darkness I live in
The longer it waits the farther it falls
My weepings strive to shake off failure
I count on what is left behind, deep inside

really astute use of deep imagery...like a metaphorical heartplug [Dune] but applied to the mind...now you are going to have to put up with me following you...

Cool piece.
Really loved riding on the flow of your thoughts, so deftly expressed.....so poignant, but the hell not soppy.
Do pen on, poet!
