Coward
Left to deteriorate
In the flames of your hell
As you watch me
With no act of remorse
You said you cared
Instead you dug my grave
You fed me to the dogs
Coward you shall pay!
For my sword slowly kills
It targets your emotions
As it unleashes demons
That skillfully torment
Only the strongest of men
You will beg me to stop
As my ink destroys you
Now who is the prisoner?A particle in the air
Is what I became
Pride left me blinded
Condemned to this hell
Filled with emptiness
That smile’s can not satisfy
Secluded from society
Addicted to insanity
Lost in empty bottles
Fear tramples hope
At war with the devil
I search for mercy
That seems hopeless
All I know is that
I serve you oh lord
Even if I have sinned
I ask for forgivenessWherever I turn
I see your smile
Your gentle touch
Soothes my soul
You must be an angel
Cause you kept me alive
When it was too much
You told me to laugh it off
When my skies were dark
Your smile became my sun
The nights that felt so cold
Were eased by your kiss
Thank you seems so simple
So I wrote from the heart
This here poem is for you
From a man you once knew
In the flames of your hell
As you watch me
With no act of remorse
You said you cared
Instead you dug my grave
You fed me to the dogs
Coward you shall pay!
For my sword slowly kills
It targets your emotions
As it unleashes demons
That skillfully torment
Only the strongest of men
You will beg me to stop
As my ink destroys you
Now who is the prisoner?A particle in the air
Is what I became
Pride left me blinded
Condemned to this hell
Filled with emptiness
That smile’s can not satisfy
Secluded from society
Addicted to insanity
Lost in empty bottles
Fear tramples hope
At war with the devil
I search for mercy
That seems hopeless
All I know is that
I serve you oh lord
Even if I have sinned
I ask for forgivenessWherever I turn
I see your smile
Your gentle touch
Soothes my soul
You must be an angel
Cause you kept me alive
When it was too much
You told me to laugh it off
When my skies were dark
Your smile became my sun
The nights that felt so cold
Were eased by your kiss
Thank you seems so simple
So I wrote from the heart
This here poem is for you
From a man you once knew
