Lament

by Zachariah Jones   Oct 6, 2004


Hello, can anyone hear me?
My cries fall on deaf ears
As I writhe in agonizing pain
The very thought of awaking
Brings me even more pain

Being without you another night
Another night without sleep
I twist and I turn, my eyes start to burn
Itching and twitching from the pain within
This is where it all ends, not to begin

Begging to hear your voice once again
Grasping onto that thin shred of hope
Once I remain here, I’m forgotten
As I close my eyes, I drift away again
Thinking of you, my only true friend

Shaking as I lie awake and unmoving
I’m trying to change, yet no improvement
Lips cracked and bleeding, choking on embers
Twisting light through the darkened glass
Falling down on the ground, crushing blast

Knees getting weaker and wavering
Can someone help me, or can someone blame me?
Broken and filleted deep into my heart
I reach in with the hope of exhaling
Wasting my last breath on one last inhale

Can you look through these eyes?
Is this the person that you will recognize?
The way that the broken sun shines on me
Is anyone out there listening to my cries?
This is finally my last and final plea
