Broken by Michael Sams
As I looked into my reflection all I could see are two contrasting futures staring back at me.
The posetions of the world bind me so
The flames of love consume my whole
Rapt I saw a sinister man
With a jester smile and a bloody hand
His fatalities made me think
Was this a man or a beast
Masochistic ways caressed my flesh with a burning dagger
Covered in blood I started to stagger
Falling into Darkness, consumed by sleep
My eyes closed as I started to weep
Looking back all I could see
Was betrayal, confusion, and mere fantasy
Then in that place
A familiar face screamed into the night
A young boy standing after a fight
Whoses tears soon became my light
Tears fade as a man snatched the boy away with a bloody hand
Laying, in the twilight of a most painful life
to think I thought I had finally found a wife
Suddenly a man appeared cover in gold Laced in tears
Thoughts seared my mind
Why, how could she leave me behind
Visions of lust and pain rapt me wild
I couldnt save her from her sin and denile
Thoughts of failure consumed me so
As a man in armor spoke to my whole
"Never again" he said with eyes wrapped in red
Once again while I could see as his evanescenceing form took over me
Was this my mind or just a place
O God why do these people have my face
Descending down chained and bound
Darkness gave form, to a hound chained and bound, with teeth made of thorns
Craving the beast approached
Smelling its thoughts gave way most
Protection, alliance, and all the traits of a friend
To see betrayal only to start again
Mocking with eyes of mine
Only a shadow always behind
Tired of this dreary Life
I fell hopeing to see my wife
Suddenly the Darkness faded
I started to think that I was jaded
Darkness gave way to light
Light gave way to wind
Soon stood my closest kin
O so bold a angel who came to hell
O thank you for breaking me out of my jail
With eyes of pearl a smile to brighten the darkest night
As they closed they left me in fright
Left behind once again
I couldn't evend depen on my closest friend
Soon Darkness took form
As I opened a door
Only to look through
And when all of heaven was blue
You were the one who broke through.
