A Simple Prayer

Monday, March 2, 2015


Nothing gets easier with each passing days
Each day is like another nail in the coffin
I am like a pharaoh of the ancient times
Mummified and everything looks the same as it was from the outside
Though there’s nothing left of me
Just another nail in the coffin and I’ll be free finally
For being alive is a sin and forgive me father for I have sinned.

It’s time I let you go; with a toast of our glasses we’ll be free forever
Free and apart, we’ll float away like waves never knowing what it means to feel or touch.
Breathe in this earthy smell, for this is the last time.
Take your time o’ envious heaven, hold your fury,
Allow us a shred of what you are, for that is plenty for these souls
A glimpse and we’ll be at your feet, kneeling and ready to be led,
Breathe into these mummified souls with that sweet lips of yours.

Such a shame; I hear them say with a clink of the glasses,
You are free as we raise our glasses to you,
Looking up into those cold and dead eyes,
It’s too far from your feet, is that why we kneel before you?
So you can hide those eyes and not let us see,
That you don’t see us anymore, nor you feel
Standing back up I envy you, I envy you for being cold and dead,
There is not a single tear in your eyes, and your feet are washed by ours.
Bring down your hammer on us and let us be dead,
We kneel because we are tired, your love is lost
Just another nail in this coffin and we’ll be free,

Bring down your fury and let us be.
