Reborn

Reborn by David Prisco

Alone
In the dead of night
Shadows
Fill me with fright

Madness seems to take over my mind
Searching for answers I will never find
Confusion is constant within my head
All the love within me is withered and dead

Empty
I can’t feel my heart beat
Burning
From the roaring flames and the heat

The road I travel leads to nowhere
I’d cry on your shoulder but I know you don’t care
At least let me come inside out of the rain
Is there anything you can do to heal my pain?

Sadness
I yearn for something more
Drowning
I am unable to swim to shore

Rescue me for I am caught in the waves of the sea
Help me to discover what I want to be
Be a friend and lend me your hand
I know I bewilder you so please try and understand

Sorrow
My heart is torn and broken apart
Lost
Because I have no idea how to start

If you show me love I will love you back
But all you seem to do is hurt me and attack
Stop whipping me and untie me from the post
Stop haunting my mind like some kind of unholy ghost

Caged
I have no way out for I am not free
Doomed
To live a life of pain and agony

I am bleeding and I am slowly slipping away
Don’t leave my body in the gutter to rot and decay
Carry me to a safe place where I can heal
Whisper in my ear that your love is for real

Prisoner
I desperately need to escape
Victim
I’ve been beaten and brutally raped

Bandage my wounds and nourish my soul
I’m running on empty and losing control
My eyes are open but I cannot see
I am a victim of your cruel and vicious hypocrisy

Laughter
Is never heard
Love
Is a forbidden word

Bounded in chains and locked in a dungeon below
Wandering in a wasteland where nothing will grow
Starving and begging for you to feed me
But it has become apparent that you no longer need me

Thirsty
I desperately crave the Devil’s drink
Thrown
In the gutter to wallow in the stink

Lord I am calling out to you –are you there?
Why do you ignore me- Lord do you care?
I know you prefer it if I help myself and remain strong
But every decision I make turns out to be wrong



Night
I am crying in the darkness all alone
Hurting
I ache in every muscle and every bone

One day I hope to find the happiness I seek
I hope to regain my strength because I feel frail and weak
Though I remain tattered and though I am torn
I have faith that the love within me will one day be reborn
