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.
