Slain

Have you ever experienced it, The numbness living within, That is a greater curse than sin? The feeling of emptiness - You can’t hide with smiles For muscles refuse to relax As tension radiates from a heart Who got stuck on one beat: Because it selflessly loved, One love, Who poisoned it! And from the shock, it can’t recover. Can never love, another Child, wife or brother, For love has become a curse, And from others, ‘smiles’ Mere trickery - Trojan horses, hiding devils. That want in, to destroy joy. - I have. So, for your own sake, stand back. Approach me no more I cannot love you, For I did love one before Who hath slain joy, peace, and hope. Hope is life, and hope, in love… Copyright © 2009 Leslie Alexis
