Old poems from days gone by (2)

Untitled

Mind is failing
Over-heating
Body flailing
Heart still beating

Terror struck
Eyes glaze over
As darkness falls
A somber cover

Mind shuts down
Heart fills with fright
To welcome the
Oncoming night

I'm burning up
My body freezing
Nothing soothing
Nothing healing

God, please save me
Speed the day
You come to take me
Far, far away

To be with you
Trials completed
Away from this pain
And the conceited

Ripping apart
Between your way and mine
The constant battle
Of Sin vs. Divine

Temptations flare
Out of control
Refine me, Lord
And make me whole

Restless nights
Wake up screaming
Life paralells
The dreams I'm dreaming

With every dawn
Comes another way
For me to sin
And fall away

The guilt I hold
Insurmountable
Can't bear to be held
Accountable

I've failed before
And I'll fail again
Why do I try?
I can never win

Nightmares, terrors
Hide in my head
Blood on my hands
Stained, throbbing and red

Losing all hope
I'm going insane
Can't take much more
Excrutiating pain

Muscles all spasm
Skin starts to crawl
Enveloped in darkness
Chest, rise and fall

Look at my face
You can see where I've been
A trip I make over 
 And over again

The shadow of death
Holds nothing for me
No terrors unseen
No mystery

The sun and its warmth
Makes me wither away
Hide in my hole
In the cold's where I stay

If anyone can hear me
Then don't try to shout
I know where you are
But I'm not coming out

However you scream
However you rant
It's not I don't want to
It's more that I can't

Wherever there's sorrow
Where there's despair
That's where you'll find me
Look for me there

Til then I'll sit here
And wait for the day
That God will come save me
And take me away.

Old poems from days gone by

Rescue

Held hostage in my head
I'm beaten and I'm bruised
Tryin' my best to escape from this mess
I'm just so confused

Too real to be a nightmare
Words play back in my ears
Like some broken tape, there is no escape
Fulfilled my darkest fears

Pain and doubt envelops
With no obvious foe
How can I fight what's not in my sight
I know not where to go

My life a living labyrinth
I'm worse off than before
The more I try, the more I cry
Can't find that golden shore

"Don't worry 'bout tomorrow"
"The time will come someday"
But I haven't a map, still stuck in this trap
What if I can't find the way

Tears and faith run hand in hand
Sitting 'neath the moon
So here I'll wait, accepting my fate
Please... come rescue me soon.
