Lord Forgive Me, for I Have Sinned

Lord forgive me, for I have sinned.

I’m left stranded in a dark corner

Of crumbled cement walls and the broken earth

Brisk air spewing through each of its cracks

A world frozen yet lost in time.

Lord forgive me, for I have sinned.

I’ve taken loss and love for granted.

Now I’m left with nothing but my trembling skin

legs asleep as the needles inhabit my veins,

I hope these drugs will put my thoughts to sleep.

Lord forgive me, for I have sinned.

I ask for forgiveness from my true love's lips.

Have each memento burned

With my perfume and ignited matches,

That will extinguish as his tears and my blood soak into it

The world settles into each crevasse laid deep

Heat from magma condenses onto the ice.

But it won’t melt, just a leisurely change.

Of opportunity and despair and even burning skin,

All from the isolation behind these broken doors.

How would I push myself if I knew I would fall

To my inevitable end?

I’ll still push, letting the earth crumble beneath

And fall into my own arms and nothing more

No trace of anything special behind these fallen walls

Just a misguided soul and a bottle of alcohol.

Lord forgive me, the deed is done

For my final seconds have finally begun.
