The Pain Exceeds the Fear

A life behind broken windows of missed chances
From where mistakes and faults
Are imposed upon the world
Where days feel like forsaken aeons
And nights taste like shame
Where no blessings can be counted.
Or ties found uncut
Where despair is transcendent
And life unloved
Dreams are burned by fires lit through your words
The charred remains of what I’ll never be
Drown them in tides of remorse and dismay
Leave me longing for the void’s embrace
Where no blessings can be counted.
Or ties found uncut
Where despair is transcendent
And life unloved
The pain of existence exceeds my fear of death
Take me away
The pain of existence exceeds my fear of death
Let me decay
The pain of existence exceeds my fear of death
Take me away
I can no longer endure what I self inflict
Give me cold. Give me pain
