Punishment

Shock is setting in
All the light fades out
Your heart atrophied
All your time passed
Once here, now you’re gone
Just a corpse remains
Misery overwhelms
Mouth agape, eyes shut
Now I abandon hope
Eternal grieving
I’m stricken with your ghost
And I still hear you breathing
Your rose withered in the sun
My last thoughts of you undone
My heart beats out of my chest
I cling to your sheets bereft
As I cry out for your name
One last feeble attempt in vain
Cold skin of the dead
Pale and gaunt, decayed
I am petrified
Here I stand alone
And now your soul ascends
Float to the ceiling
My final punishment
I’m forced to watch you leaving
Naught left but fear
Come back, stay here
I feel nothing else but the vacancy that you left behind
Even though you’re gone, I still see your face when I close my eyes

Denial takes hold, in my disgrace
I can’t move on from your touch,
Our final embrace
In my dreams I still see you here
I touch your face, but I awake
And you disappear
Grief on your voice
Fixed in my mind
I watched our light
Fade out and die
I should have known that my strength would wane
My wounds have healed, but the scars remain
I keep myself confined
Cursed to be left behind
Tears in my eyes
Brought to my knees
Fire on my tongue
Death sets me free
I feel my breathing slow
Only one place for me to go
No more pain left in me
No more pain
I feel myself go numb
My blood runs cold
Death breaks the mold
My blood runs cold

The thought grows like a cancer
Its roots burrow to the back of my mind
I still search for an answer
But there is nothing left for me to find
But I can’t quell the conflict within
Nothing to lift the stain of my sin
I choke on a bitter truth
Divinity is a frail charade
Strengthened by a parasite
A man that wears the mask of God
God has left, break the chain
Every prayer, all in vain
All my faith caving in
No escape from my sin
Cast out false love
It’s not enough
Apathetic
Dead ascetic
What was true now
Antithetic
A new communion, the taste of death
Pass by my lips, and take my breath
I feel nothing but pain in my body
Burning from under my flesh
As my vision returns, I see fire
Welcoming the ghost of death
Hell engulfs me
Save my soul
I’m forsaken
Pay the toll
No way back
Falling deeper
Into the black
Eternal agony
For a moment of doubt
Embracing tragedy
My guilt avowed
I am home
I’ll never leave
World without mercy
Without reprieve
I can’t believe
I am home now
And I’ll never leave

I can’t shake this thought
I’ve always carried it with me
A childhood in rot
No cure to free me from your disease
I lie to myself
One day, I know I’ll get better
But it burrowed far too deep
And to the truth I am tethered
I can’t get better
I’ll never forgive
Much less forget what you did to me
I’ve one life to live
I won’t waste my time waiting up
Resentment exhumed
With every memory relived
Resentment consumes
But I doubt that you give a fuck
You’ll never change (you’ll never change)
You only stay the same
I tried in vain (condemn your name)
I’m not the one to blame
I’ve tried so fucking hard to live with all your lies
Each night I lie awake and pray for your demise
I unravel as you pull on the slack
I never thought you’d be the one stabbing the knife in my back

Bound by Fate

Suffering, left in the wake of your passing
The memory haunts me
No redress, no escape
Lingering like a ghost in the corner, hollow and reticent
Bound in place
Lingering
Filled with regret
Lingering
I can’t forget you
Torture me with every reminder of you, preserving my grief
Apathy takes hold
Lingering
I can’t let go
Lingering
I shoulder the burden of loss
Bearing the weight
Bound by fate
Left in the wake of you
My spirit breaks
This is all just too much to take
Too late to pray
Frozen in place, waiting to join you
