The Church

by DBM   Nov 28, 2005


I cut myself
And inscribed these words
On the walls of my forsaken church:

"Written in blood
It must be true
I am not worthy of your King."

Still, no salvation
No damnation
Nothing
To help me understand

"Why must we go on like this?"

For hereafter, I weep
A disgraced and evil being
Until judgment is
Finally
Passed

"I am not afraid of your God."

And I may, at long last
Receive my punishment
For my blasphemy

"No longer will I fear that day."

For when one
Lives in Hell
He no longer fears the unknown
Because there is nothing
He hasn't seen

"I know where I am
Where I have been
And where I will be."

As history repeats
I am thrown
Into the fire
Again and
Again and
Again.

"I burn to ash
For what I've done."

    This is interesting and quite unique, I like the way it is set out and your repetition is quite effective. The whole piece is very controlled and your emotions are portrayed well here/

    This is a very original poem, I like the way you have expressed yourself here. I like the finality of it, and I love the last lines; I think they make an effective end to a wonderful poem.
