Heart of Relief.

Heart of Relief.

 

Standing freefalling on the sharp edge of obscurity.

Exhausted to the core and rinsed out fully mentally.

Anaesthetised my thoughts and feelings emotionally.

Aged, weakened bones affecting my physicality.

 

No longer in need or searching for any resolutions.

Confined and living in a world of frightening damnation.

Only the devil has come forward with any propositions.

No offers from the house above offering me salvation.

 

I am already resident in my world that is a living hell.

I am listening intently with what the devil must tell.

To release all of my pain, that i have rampaging inside.

We agree a deal if I am prepared to pay the price.

 

My blackened dead soul will no longer belong to me.

I will willingly move permanently to hell for all eternity.

Before the agreement with the devil can go through.

I know there is one last thing, that I alone must do.

 

I gather my remaining strength everything that\'s left.

I plunge my bony hands into the centre of my chest.

Then rip out my heart that has caused so much grief.

My bloodied hands hold it out for the devil to see.

 

Then slowly squeeze it tight until the arteries explode.

Then stand and watch as my rotten blood starts to flow.

The pain, hurt, anger, rage, sadness slowly drips to the floor.

The devil smiles and says now no one can hurt you anymore.
