Eyes burn begging god for mercy
Cruel deity claiming kindness
Devils deal shaken on long ago
Remedy a temptation out of reach
My mind begins to leak
Seeping thoughts on the rug
The animal makes a mess of it
Tears slide over lids
An addition to the flood
Pathetic libation to petty lord
All became a haze to sore eyes
Yet still darkness cannot embrace
It claims kindness still
Cruel safety in sleepless days
