Catharsis

Guilt toils, tinkers, grasps a guilty soul
Blasphemy draws its web forcing its costly toll
Weathered and pained apologies come awry
Scrawled by effort for storms and many clouds did cry

Faced unjustly decisions that could maim
A shaking heart quivered, none that could tame
Treed beneath the rivers raging hold
Frightened, torn, was a soul blue cold

Beckoned to a gated place eternal
Bouquets left for the forgotten fraternal
Lay, rest aside this eerily comforting place
Where rests the sorrow, an angel fallen from grace

Emotional tornado whirling about so displaced
A tongue left with only a sour pharmaceutical taste
Crashing booms from the wrath of the self-existent one
Bolts of lightning flashing as destiny had never begun

Lost amongst the living, unbelonging with the dead
Torn from a mortal realm so much love left unspread
Infinitely in limbo eternally cut from fate
Goal undone, wings torn, spirit unable to levitate

Awakened now but from the dream terrorist theres no escape
Upon each flicker of hope its sickle will excitedly rape
Blessed is not this being who bleeds a million wounds
Darkness took an interest forcing said subject multiple swoons

Bandaged, bruised, broken and used
Fallen prey, victim to the standing accused
Whispering a gentle prayer of forgiveness and guidance
Lasts breaths taken before bowing to final subsidence

I'm sorry you didn't get to watch the video, but the words are definitely the most important part of this one. I tried to stray aside my usual bounds and I am very glad you liked it!!!!!! Thanks!

Thanks:-P I wrote this one a bit different in that I really wanted people to think about it and not make it's lines such that as a story. I will always write and thank you for the encouragement. This piece has become one of my favorites indeed!

Jessica has written poetry for years....that is where most of the lyrics for her songs come from. You are very special and I do hope you keep creating....the world needs it....hugs, Joyce
