Soulmill

By Tear of Prometheus

Dragged down again

Lying in a pool of shards
Through Hell I have been
And heavens
I am lying in my Heart
 


On the bright Side
 


There is not much
Damage left
That could be done
All skin ripped off
No bone unbroken
My liver and lungs
Pierced on a splintery shaft
My body bloody
And soft to the touch
 

Don’t even start me on my soul
 

It’s gone
Has been
For the devil knows
How long
 






All that is left is to look up
And resign to the Darkness
That swallowed all my light
Left nothing but the spot
That lets me know


I am


Indeed not looking down

    You might want to clean up the wording a little bit but I really like the idea and imagery.

    Thanks for the headsup. Since english ist not my native language I might still lack sometimes, so I am grateful for advice and help. If there are still messups left feel free to point them out.
