suicide

Deep within all souls endure
A dark place, shadowy unpure
its shames harnessed, shackled in place
never to see morning or reveal its face

What lengths, what strides to silence its voice
storymaker created, circling thoughts, no choice
lie upon lies, eyes work to conceal
whilst war rages fourth, satans battlefield

Whatever path one walks, whichever mask one wears
day by day, frame by frame, etched in time your path cannot disappear
wriggle and wrythe, more stories more lies
whilst over your shoulder black riders, demise

Are years months shorter or have months become days
flesh and bone become weary, body weak, malaise
Satan smiles as your struggle transgresses spirit to flesh
his skin crawls with delight as he yearns for your death

A black womb now encases, no north no south
decisions clouded,thoughts twisted, nil by mouth
attacked you are now from inside and out
yet there is no-one around, no-one in sight

you run for the bridge arms outstretched and wide
you laugh as you fall, yes you're alive
you've beaten them yes, once and for all
who'll fuck with you now, you're ten feet tall

you hover above now, looking down with relief
but the pictures all wrong,confused, disbelief
no riders, no reaper, no punishment for wrongs
just family and friends weaping in throngs

quiet, floating, confused and alone
No heaven, no hell, you aimlessly roam
whilst distant laughter from a place for souls lost

Satans book, open, your name proudly embossed
