Weakness

[Altered_Soul9]

Sheltered from this world of hate and lies.
My naive mind falters at the thought of pain.
It hurts me inside to think of loss.
It breaks my bones to fathom oblivion.
But slowly my abyss is stepping forward.
Its long strides close in on my humble heart.
Its shadow darkens my vision
And my inhibitions are altered.
Killing me from the inside
Turning me upon myself.
It punishes me for my lack of knowledge.

Only if I had known...

Above the mutilation of my inner being I see a light
An illuminating object appears behind the abyss.
Carefully watching.
Waiting for the most opportune moment to release its vengeful ways.
Yet it does nothing.
Only waits,
While I decompose and die.
I cry out for my spiritual help.
Yet it does not come.
It sits and waits for me to come.
And yet I am to weak to move.
And I will die in this shadow of an abyss
An abyss that was not mine.

My weakness is juxtaposed to my Love, showing how strong my weakness is...

[Painless Hurt]

I love the last line. This is a great piece

 

[Pantomime7]

Love inhibits weakness
While feeble minds wander through darkness
While souls lose sight of salvation.
This is a great piece. I understand what you mean.

Love this also, I do admit i relate to your poems maybe more then i want to.

favorite part that keeps grabbing me as i read this is :

But slowly my abyss is stepping forward.
Its long strides close in on my humble heart.
