no life but pain
No life but pain….
I had no life but only pain
With so much grief and so much strain
My childhood so sad so dark
Illuminated by hellish sparks
Twisted lies and twisted friends
Hades’ spear through my heart was sent
Being teased and crowed upon
Made me distraught and forlorn
But my hearts still pumps blood through my veins
I had no life but only pain
As the shadows lengthen by the day
My life was a mongrel mad astray
Humiliation plagues my mind
Peace and solace I just can’t find
Shifting sands of my time
My funeral bells begin to chime
So young so naïve yet so cold
Evil lurks inside untold
Anger builds up like a termites nest
Clawing through my heart it does infest
One fateful day it all went loose
My life story began to construe
With cruel intent and knife at hand
I sent him to the never land
A juvenile crime I did commit
Confessed all at the pulpit
Sentenced to all my life in jail
My spirit so young my soul so frail
So till now I rot alone in my cell
Reflecting on my past life ---hell
But no regrets yet so much pain
Why was my friend by me was slain
Happiness for me is so scarce
Breath now is short through my nares
Hover above deaths waiting arms
For me it has an unusual charm
As everything goes black and so still
My life is a lie but truth is pain
…..and all to lose but nothing to gain!
