My bloody, faithless prayer by ~kat-reverie:iconkat-reverie:





I hold my hand up to my heart,
I say a faithless prayer.

I look into the shadows,
I know I belong  there.

I need the key,
my heart is closed.

My endless sorrow,
shows me to the dark.

My prayer, my prayer,
My faithless, bloody prayer.

Hear it, hear it,
Hear my cracked voice blare.

Oh goddess of truth,
I need your help.

Oh goddess of mercy,
I need you to heal me.

Oh goddess of hope,
I need your strength.


The hand at my heart,
falls to my side.

I cry, I cry,
No one will hear.

My faithless prayer,
Goes unheard.

It goes unheard.

I hold my hand up to the sky,
I practice futility.

I pray, I pray,
the prayer of a false heart.

Oh the that gave me life,
please give me death.

Oh the that gave me breath,
take it away.

Oh the that gave me tears to cry,
Please let me die, let me die.

Oh the that gave me a heart,
Tear it out, TEAR IT OUT.


One last time,
I try one last time.


Once more....

I hold my hand over my heart,
I sob my last false prayer.

I take a breath,
Because I regret it all.

You that gave me life,
refuse to take it away.

You that gave me breath,
continue to make me breathe.

You that gave me tears to cry,
They bring me naught but pain!

You that gave me a heart,
Will watch it, watch it as I cut it out!

I breathe in sharp,
The knife, it hurts.

I start to close my eyes,
My body,
slowly,
dies.

My body slowly dies....

Author's Comments

I was sorta depressed, this cheered me up. I dunno where to put it other than spiritual, unless this coounts as love poetry, i highly doubt that since it's about suicide.

As always, free form.

The reason i pout it in spiritual is because sometimes it feels like not even god wants to hear the pathetic story of one's life. Meh, Late nights alone after hearing bad, heart breaking news gets me pessimistic like this, enjoy.

That is beautiful!!! This has very good imagery, and emotion.

When you're feeling down, I may make you happy by presenting a kind parody of the poem (kind of like another poet responding) :hug: You may dry your tears now, and I'll wipe them away.

I think you should try a poem about friends or hugs. (If you don't, I will)

lol, i tend to do better at dark poetry, i can only do rhym poetry with bright subjects. I dun like rhyme too well when i do it. I think you'd be good with hugs and friends poems. The closed thing i do to light poetry is poetry about wind, autumn, things like that.

I see what you're saying. You're good at dark poetry, but you were never a dark person. :hug: Perhaps you or I could write a poem about the CLOWN CAR. :hug: THank you for being on DA, and for being who you are to me.
