Sugar, Sugar

Maybe what I said
Wasn’t made perfectly clear
And maybe the voices in my head
Aren’t resounding the way they
Typically do
And I’m seeing the image
The mirrored horror
Designated trauma
In the aftermath
Of my self made consequence
Decisions of life
Death truth and vengeance
Overwhelming evidence

Define my misery
With the syllables you utter
The thoughts you don’t
Dare speak aloud
Once considered
Now completely
Utterly vanquished
Amidst the night

Closing the door on the possibilities
Locking my heart
My mind
The fantasies
Behind the curtain lies the unspoken
The unmentionable
The verdict remains undecided
The path less traveled even less so now
As the steps that would have
Could have
Been taken----have been shifted
In the wrong direction

Define my misery
With the syllables you utter
The thoughts you don’t
Dare speak aloud
Once considered
Now completely
Utterly vanquished
Amidst the night

On knees hoarsely praying to God
Have mercy on the broken hearted
As the stake pierces my chest
And the blood pours out
Self made consequence
Rewritten again and again
The ending remains
Utterly vanquished
Amidst the night
