Place of Hell

Place of Hell

My heart beats

to a painful rhythm

as my soul shattered

so long ago

the painful beats of my

heart have become

all that i know 

but in the silence

of the night

i remember so much more

than I wish too....

I remember the words

and I remember 

all the times

that eventually led

to my life crashing down around me...

I see so many falling down that

same dark hole that i 

just now climbed myself out of...

and my tears follow them down..

I wish to help but I do not know how

As I see them go

my heart breaks once again

but this time not form my sake

but for the sake of those

I love and care for.

As they fall

I am unable to do a thing

so silently I wait in the 

silence of the night 
as my silent tears follow them down..
And I pray aloud for a ladder to be built
as he built for me...
so that one day they 
might just 
climb back up out of the very
depth of a small
but painful
place of hell...
