Too many days now, been at their mercy, <br />Been living a life of pain, low down and dirty, <br />Chains biting tight, can only dream of the light, <br />Need to break free, can no one see what is right? <br /> <br />You see my tears, <br />Feel my fears, <br />Hear my cries, <br />I hear more lies, <br /> <br />Their knives are out, I can't breathe, <br />When I hear your footsteps you're about to leave, <br />My heart tears deep, life's blood runs, <br />Souls essence leaks, here come the guns, <br /> <br />My spirit wants to leave, return to love, <br />I look to the skies, where is the Dove? <br />Your face caught in my mind holds me back, <br />Heavens window opens just a crack, <br /> <br />You see my tears, <br />Feel my fears, <br />Hear my cries, <br />I hear more lies, <br /> <br />Where I come from all is love, suffering is nothing, <br />When they leave they will feel it all, <br />Where they are going, they gonna crawl, <br />I hear your footsteps in the hall, <br />Are you coming or going? <br />I just don't know anymore. <br /> <br />09 May 2012<br /><br />David Andre' Klopper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/broken-chains-7/
