My Greatest Sin

A tomb made of stone,
I'll bury my pain.
To make sure I'm not alone,
by the neck, I will hang.

This poem I weep,
From the bottom of my soul.
The scars I will keep,
I can't ever let go.

Such a beautiful lie,
you sang to me.
Deep down I did die,
a face of agony.

It was like an abyss,
formed deep within.
A betrayal kiss,
was a thorn in my skin.

As much as I hate,
to admit that I care.
Frankly this saint,
of a burden I bare.

Shall I wonder the streets
and alleys alone?
I follow my feet,
I will never come home.

I'm broken.
I'm beaten.
Destroyed and decaying.

I'm torn.
So worn.
And I'm slowly breaking.

Wall to wall,
I'm closed up inside.
Abused, I fall,
No where to hide.

I'm falling forward,
Frantically flailing.
Running toward
a ship that keeps sailing.

So with a kiss,
a nightmare within.
I will never miss,
you, my greatest sin.
