Lies and Alibis

How did I let myself get like this?
Finding this creature crawling,
snaking it's way into my life,
as though it breathes and consumes
every waking moment I have with you.

He isn't real, not anymore,
but his potency is all the more deadly.

Show me, oh God, how I can live,

with this poison eating away at my soul.

Help me with this deadly sin.

 

No more will I stand for the way I feel.

I will let it go, let you go, forever.

Just a memory, nothing more, never again.

Someone reach out and take my hand,

take me out of this sea of illusions.

Author notes

This is a personal poem that I've been meaning to write for a while. It has a lot of significanace to me and it also was my thought process in a critical point in my life. But feel free to rip it to pieces if you need to

    I enjoyed this and I can relate to it because I have the same request of God. I love the first stanza and how it brought back the image of Satan (or sin) as a snake slithering stealthily into our lives. Thank you for entering my contest and best of luck!
