Bow down low

by Lucy   Apr 18, 2005


Lean down, so low...to pray
let us bow, close your eyes...delay
the hurt, the sorrow, you've made him cry
too much emotion, put into this guy
too in love, too close to each other
get lost in them, your miracle lover
intense love, the hates so real
when you touch, its more then feel
numb hands and feet
into it too deep
just a song, just a depth
aware of everything you've kept
trust and lust, and purgatory
worse then any bed time story
if mom and dad only knew
all the commandments you already blew
all the sad trials that life's put you through
they couldn't make you feel bad...even if they knew
say a verse and cry those sinful tears
cross that wounded heart, and heal it through those fears
hope you die, and pray he comes true
needles in your eyes, he loves only you
keep every promise, and bleed all wrong, clean
open your eyes, sleep with your dream
don't settle for less, when you deserve gold
through the burning sun, you still feel that cold
lay down and bury your soul
sink so deep, and burn so low
that no one can see your sad lack of control
and that without this love, you'll never be whole
angels in your blood, coke in your veins
with those pathetic lies, no one sees your pains
God sees your beauty, you know all your lies
you cant give those up, no matter how hard you try
with all of the stirring barbed wires in life
no one likes your tears, your cries
so they turn their face and take in your fire
and you need to sleep cause your so tired
innocence is no option with all this lust
you've broken any, left over trust
hands tied down upon your bed
forget all the religion overwhelming your head
take into your heart all that you want
let out in the world all you can flaunt
and immune to life's hurt, you've earned all you own
you just want his love when you enter your home
on your back, praying to God for your safety
that he'll protect your life and your baby
black eyes, black blood, black soul, white sin
you cannot forget all the forgiveness he gives

    This one is way better. The wording was good and so was the poem in itself. Keep writing, take care.
