Heaven's Poems

Canvas

My weak hands tremble

My heartbeat slowly fades

The world starts to crumble

And the trapped rain cascades

Do the walls trap my prayer

Every time I pray

For I never got an answer

And I'm starting to fade away

The lump in my throat never left

It just subsides sometimes

And I live for when

The canvas meets the knives

I hate everything I write

I despise right now

I try to hold the words back

But they escape me somehow

It's happening again

And there is no escape

Being closer to my end

Is why I wake up every day
