The Serpent and The Sinner

Author: Dementia

Wish not the wanted
Unto those who want not
Wish not for life to carry away your burdens
Less your burdens be greater than equal
If life were to cry with weary eyes
Would you cry, would you die
If not, if so
Carry me away in a broken ship
A broken vessel
One less mouth to feed, a broken vein
The vein is the source
From which the rich drink blood
I have no blood, no life
I have nothing
From one to another
Can another not want
All is taken
Everything is gone
See i pray for my sins
As well as for yours
But I am not the only one
