In Places Kept

In Places Kept

In this place of suffering,

 I will weep constantly.

With my fears,

 would I immortalize the world's ignorance.

Though deliberately,

I suffer someone else's life,

 like a spiritual shard, 

it silently glides along God's wounds,

 resentful of the world's heartbreak.

His fearful revenge,  

could I understand this suffering?

My song of pain will eat this war away.

Though my knife shall never rape my enemy to the end; The resting place of my emotions,

could violate God's creature so softly.

His fearful revenge,
could I understand this suffering?
My song of pain will eat your war away.

I'll drink to the that.

A stellar razor-blade of a piece.

Wow....This feels very dark. I love it. Dark and ruminating, yet a sorrowful beauty. "His fearful revenge,/could I understand this suffering?/My song of pain will eat your war away." I love this stanza.
