The Altar
By elisa
Reaching back through my soul
I tear my weaken beaten heart
from my sunken chest
tonight I take my love back in my own
hands
I alone have come to make the final break
my
heart will ever suffer
once you stood a marathon away
gracing my horizon
but time has passed from centuries
to eons
and
sorrow travels slowly through forever
in
eternity
I stand here
atop
The Great Pyramid
before the
Devil's hell
and
God's holy heaven
I take my broken heart
and
clean the slate of history
shattering the memory of me
leaving nothing more than
poetry
