'Pray For Home'

By Dreaming Turtle

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How can you tell me that you understand?~ knowing damn well, (ain't nobody here that can) The prophecies unfold, which means that I'm still a lonely man~ beating myself up constantly, Lord God was this really your great masterplan? How can I have faith in it all when I have no faith in self?~ I wait for the signs, yet there is nothing left but (this 'ole failed suicidal stealth) And still I dedicate my spirit, I fall into your hands with every death~ self sex & I'm an emotional wreck, smoke please deliver my final gasping breath Send my messages, noone cares & now I don't either~ I shed one tear in silent prayer, condem all I know in memory of my (baby sister) And so the realization drops like my throat being slit by a ten foot razor~ anything sane is but their insanity, all I know is that I could've possibly saved her Yet I did not, I failed from the start, her dual life-blood dies from within her womb~ I close my eyes & pray Lord God, because I could only wish to (see her again soon) ~I'm coming home Sam (holding on for a miracle, knowing there's no such thing) Respectfuly Dead, ~Dreaming Turtle Written February 9th, 2002 © on Feb 08 2002 06:43 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
