Raven Caw

I sleep on a bed of lies.
I wash my skin in showers of sin.
I eat up the 7 sins I tell myself.
And out the window I see Raven caw.

I clothe myself in lust.
I sip on my morning's tea.
I despise the people that are below me.
And through the window I see the Raven caw

My words fly out of existence.
But my thought lingers behind, left untold.
I hear a sinister knock on my door.
And low behold i hear the Raven caw.

My anxiety Builds.
My heart beats faster
An explosion of docile thoughts began to race.
My endless words and dissatisfaction began to retract.
Sinister knocks turn into hellish knocks.
A bold man like me whimpers like a child with no sleep.

Oh, how the Raven caws

Silence is disturbed by the relentless cawing.
The house is filled with unrest and no peace.

It caws, it caws, IT CAWS!!

Has it come to punish me?
Has it come to kill me?
Has it come to take me to hell?

Or keep me in an everlasting limbo?
Have my unlawful deeds caught up to me?

I've discovered new words I never thought I would speak.
The violent shake of the door has led me to my knees begging for Gods company.

I peek through the Hole and there I see darkness.
I wonder if it was my soul I've looked through.
Must it have been my poor mind dreaming a dreading nightmare?

Why is it Dark in the middle of the morning?
Why does my God have me endure this treatment?
Is this my punishment?
My soul begins to calm and then the Caw returns with a vengeance.

I hear the terrible voice that says let me in
Oh, how the house is filled with shame and disgust.
I feel the inside of my body scream as shame steals across my face.

Why God!
Why leave me to endure this!
Is the sin too hard for you to bear!
Do not leave me alone for my heart cannot bear this misery!

And here is comes the Raven caw.
With a voice that asked to be let in.
This time with a gentle voice
In a time of misery and agony I folded

Curious to what's behind the door.

What have I done?
What will be of me now?
Is this the end of my Life?

Should I pray?
Or should I accept my fate?

I close my eyes awaiting my fate.
For the last thing I heard is the malevolent Ravens caw.
