Sweet Relief

By SulaMoon

I await salvation
looking through Heaven's door
for the hourglass
will run out of sand
before I hurt no more

I dream of death
to kill the pain
to have some peace
for a time again

wishing it were yesterday
when I didn't feel this way

Aching...
feeling of burning flesh
this heaviness upon my chest
these bones feel like they are broken
all I wish to do is rest

to close my eyes
to drift to sleep
for I await you, sweet relief

please take this pain away from me
take it from my core
please take this pain away from me
so I may live once more

still, I await salvation
looking through Heaven's door
for the hourglass
will run out of sand
before I hurt no more

the suffering I claim each day
as I lay here on the floor
I await you sweet relief
to kiss me forevermore

please take this pain away from me
take it from my core
please take this pain away from me
so I may live once more

through existing with such agony
and clear thought escapes my mind
I only think of you, relief,
as the venom runs down my spine

but I'm forced to face the truth
to never be like the rest of you

free from sadness, free from pain,
free from suffering...to live again

please take this pain away from me
take it from my core
please take this pain away from me
so I may live once more

tearing, gnawing, twisting, aching
like shards of glass within my veins

why can't this be taken from me
why can't pain be kept at bay

so, I'm left here with salvation
looking back through Heaven's door
for the hourglass has run out of sand
and now I hurt no more

Thank you, everyone. I suffer from sever Fybromialgia, caused by numerous accidents, abusive relationships, etc..., and the pain gets so bad that I can't stand it. When I was on a 3 day excruciating pain trip, I wrote this. The repeated mantra going through my head. I hope that no one has to go through anything like this.

I thoroughly enjoyed this piece, despite it having a sad tone I thought it was very well written. I feel as though I appreciate it all the more because it rhymed and most of my own work rhymes as well. Thank you for sharing such an amazing write with us here on DP =)
