Evil Drank Here

Dreams fractured
Lost in seems of life
unholy things seen
left better by the side
Time slipped away
Falling back to the fray
New days in longing
Old times seemingly yawning
To arrest life once felt in this breast
Stealing breath
Quietly comes the beast
Caught surprised indeed
The evil seed you did plant
Happiness dwells
In darkness of wells
Water run dry
Hands filled
Brackish waste
My clenched grip
Slip an fall
Mauling dreams
Rusted tired screams
Left to decay
Returning today
Looking out
Reaching in
Delicately placed
twisted knife
penetrates minds eye
My old friend
Irony bound
bled Love to the ground
Evil drank here
Dined here…
Set in a rhythm of terror
Lashes fall quickly
To cracks in the floor
Silent tears fill them
its not my mind anymore
on bent bloodied knees
I can fly now
window open
Just beyond you
I am there
Never here
Fear a thing to un-feel
a cry in the night
felt, never heard
I wasn’t there
I flew to the messiah
In me.
embracing grace
saving me.
