Misery

Misery
by Cal Jennings

Lingering sadness, unrelenting
Tearing at the heart lamenting
Pain across and endless chasm
Causing heart to skip and spasm
Misery's, now too familiar
Longing for some sweet surrender
Heartbreak that was before hidden
Burning soul, love overridden
Heartbreak burns within my chest
Living in complete unrest
Lightning strikes within the heart
Tearing mind and soul apart
Stealing like a haunting wraith
Leaving one with weakened faith
Crying out from deep within
Praying God forgives my sin
Withering to alabaster
Over this profound disaster
Generalaties berating
Hope sometimes degenerating
Trying, still, to see the light
To continue valiant fight
