Blood soaked moon

There's a quiet place of regret stirring violently in my chest

There are so many words left unprofessed ,and over the years I've regressed

Back into abyssmal sorrows I retreat

Until the day I make my way before the heavenly seat

I've been ravaged by mankind's inconsolable evils

So Iconstruct walls against what's conceivable

Unbelievable horrors shape mythoughs under a blood soaked moon

Under its eerie radiancy I betray all conformity taught

Taking to my bookshelf and peeling back the pages of my diaries

It's a wonder how my innocence is behind me

I've taken to the shadows that only know deep grief

A depth perceived to reach a stalemate against relief

How the stars shine upon the fiery waters within

And shame burns hotter beneath my skin

So how do I return to my innocent state

Life is empty like my concious slate

God what have I done to bring forth such darkness

Clawing at my stomach is the desire to rid myself of heartlessness

Gray skies fall down to earth in a gloomy undercoat

I'm still shivering in the icy depths of loss, I cannot stay afloat

It is a project for my english class. I wrote it in class the day it was assigned. I was so inspired by the Frankenstein book that I could not have resisted when I had found out a poem was an option for our project
