Twisting and intertwining in its morbidness
In a struggle to find a source of light
And a mission to put the wrong things right
Quickly taking over, these thoughts of pain
I want to find that elusive solice again
I want to make you see what I see
But I can't let you see that side of me
I close my eyes only to see the pain inside
Coming like tumultuous waves on a fearsome tide
They sweep over me and change me forever
As I try to fight the storm I can't possibly weather
With you in mind, I try to find a way
To defeat these thoughts and make you stay
Try as I might, but inside, my thoughts interfere
Making themselves heard with every word and jeer
And I see in your eyes that I am losing you
My dark side is turning you away, as much as I try not to
You attempt to get inside my mind and try to comprehend
Only to be denied, because its whats inside that you can't mend
And with that, I turn my back and walk away
To prevent you from being lead further astray

The Triumph of Darkness

In a room so dark, thoughts manifest
Twisting and intertwining in its morbidness
In a struggle to find a source of light
And a mission to put the wrong things right
Quickly taking over, these thoughts of pain
I want to find that elusive solice again
I want to make you see what I see
But I can't let you see that side of me
I close my eyes only to see the pain inside
Coming like tumultuous waves on a fearsome tide

As I try to fight the storm I can't possibly weather

This is a hard poem to read because it describes why I left church almost 2 years ago. I am going back now and it is good to be reminded to not give up on the changes you want to make in life.

"I close my eyes only to see the pain inside"

That was just a great line and I can really
relate to it, it brought back a lot of painful
memories for me from a few years back. I
hope you don't actually feel like you described
in the poem because that is a very painful
place to be in, but if you do try not to hold
everything inside and write poems like these
to expunge the demons inside. Thanks for
sharing this I think I shall go read it again.
