OK this is not quite poetry but this is a song i wrote
Twenty Two
I am a worm, asphyxiated in darkness
a reproach of men, exhumed and cold
despised of people, everytime i die
all this while, you've forsaken me
why are you so far from helping me?
Chorus:
My bones are out of joint
my heart is wax
melted in the midst of my breath
you had brought me into the dust of death
My veins are my words roaring
{i cry
but you cant hear me}
dont be far, trouble is close
no one is here
(water flows over open wounds, a burning sensation occurs)
Chorus
Bridge:
I hath not despised nor abhorred
The affliction of the afflicted
-Neither did i hide my face from darkness
but when i cry, darkness fell 2x-
my heart is wax
melted in the midst of my breath (2x)
Asphyxiated in darkness
exhumed and cold
you've forsaken me
so far
helping me
