A new spin on an old tale.

Dead man walking

neck in the noose

try as he may he can’t break loose

thoughts still spinning

tears so divine

pain and rage filling his mind

can’t find the way out

can’t see from within

can’t forgive himself his every sin

he takes the gun and prays again

hoping for eternity

and trying his strength

bites down on cold steel

can’t cock it back

he’s sees her face eyes gleaming black

he knows not the way to make it right

he knows not how to fix his plight

lonely and cold

forevermore 

forgive him high father

he’s nothing more

can’t control the impulses 

the heartless rage

he can’t simply turn the page

never looking forward 

only back

so he pops a few pills

and then a few more

thinking this is the way to end this fight

he wakes up to white 

so covered in blood

her face staring at him

her hand in his

begging him please to not let the monsters win

her love eternal 

conquering his pain

this does NOTHING more then to help him sustain

one day more and nothing less

the bruises he laid on her 

screaming to him

FORGIVE HIM FATHER FOR HE HAS SINNED.
