A poem I wrote so long ago, I can't remember when. I never seem to have titled it.

When sadness is tearing down my door

and the devil temptation brings near me.

When everything in life is grey

and doesn't want to turn to black & white.

When heaven leaves me stranded 

and fate betrays my heart.

When darkness closes in

and love becomes hell

with interests & with wonders

of what better is out there?

When the mind plays tricks & stimulates desire...

And within me lies no grain of power.

When light is missing in my life 

and my poor soul turns concrete,

left feeling frigid and still.

What the heart tells me to do

and what my mind so dearly does refute,

How compassion argues with my logic,

so torn between these two.

One more mistake I can not bear

Yet I just lay there

Completely listless & confused?

Completely dazed & amused?

Completely ignorant or wise?

What's it matter? I still can't make sense of all these lies

& the sins keep screeching in my head

like the dead trying to rip out of their grave

Won't someone please tell them to behave!
