Cries
Deep into the cold empty night.
Is martyrdom recognized by Him
If consciously committed?
If the curse of solitude is ignored,
Could eternal damnation be worse
Than the alternative life
Without fulfillment?
What of the innocents?
What of those who seek an end
To my self-inflicted misery?
Should they be sucked down
Into the undertow of my whirlwind?
They are not deserving
Of the burden which haunts my every breath.
NO!
Those who would not unlove me shall not
Grieve for their joy lost.
I will not succumb to thy tortuous lament!
Dreams, I awaken thee!
Joy, I will embrace thee!
Faith, I will not lose thee!
Hope, I have found thee!
Love, I await and welcome thee!
