where the darkness screams
my tears sit and sing
a soft harsh lullaby
of familiar despair
shattered once again
into silence
my thoughts feverishly
hunt for some solace
blessedly
for me
GOD is always there
it hurts to be so wrong
now I am coldly confused
my reality again
shaken to the emotions
how could I be so wrong
about someone I thought to be
so right
why can't the soul carry with
it a knife
to cut out the heart
when its bleeding me to death
its so funny
to be
over one simple word
such a disgusting wreck
as one pin prick drawing blood
wont hurt
but a million can kill
and in my mind they do
"EXCEPT"
I never thought such a
harmless little word
could in one fell swoop
SMASH
in me
so much hope and belief
sometimes
I think I'll go to my grave
wishing
wishing
wishing
that things could be different
and of course
for full true acceptance
not twisted ideas of it
oh and
ah but one day I'll go to a
glorious place
where my weight and the word
"EXCEPT"
can no longer have the power
to hurt me
anymore...............
