Mine Eyes Have Seen the Gory
Sad recollections and cannot be forgotten
Foggy brain didn't know what was wrong
Until years later
Now the scenes replay as a terrorizing song
Mind is a treacherous trader
- - -
Never to forget my assaulter
Never to forget when the bombs fell
Zoning out and mental falter
Desperate to, thoughts expel
- - -
Images of friend's body exploding
Lingering eyes touch me, making my skin crawl
Horrific, paralyzing sound of a gun loading
Checking out, finding a means to withdrawal
- - -
This, I'll never "just get over," like some say I can
Forgive maybe, but never ever could I attempt to forget
Suffering for the greater part of my lifespan
Never to shake free, or, new mental status beget
- - -
Oh Lord, please take me home
I want to see your coming glory
No longer can I bear this agonizing roam
I want to dwell in eternal territory
