this crimson vessel...

heart’s so full

of dark gray clouds

got me in its pull

wanna scream out loud

                       

but sound don’t come
to a heart heavy as mine
thoughts turned numb
stayin’ alive just to pine

seems the skies above
feel the same bleak way
weepin’ my loss of love
drippin’ sadness night and day

rains come down
deep into my soul
so ‘fraid i’m gonna drown
and it stings me so

trickles down thru my flesh
strippin’ ‘way all that’s left
leavin’ nothin’ but an empty mess
like a sinister theft

hurricane winds of despair
leavin’ my mind tossed about
can’t rebuild can’t repair
this crimson vessel
full of doubt
