Ah! <br />The guilty twist, <br />Churning my heart like a windmill gone wild! <br /> <br />The manipulated truth! <br />Stupid me! Foolish me! <br />Of how pathetically minded am I… <br /> <br />Sorry? <br />If only Lord forgives me… <br />I’ve summoned the demon to me, <br />I’ve awakened the devil from its grave, <br />I’ve spilled out the evil out of me… <br />Lead them to damnation! <br />Lead them to the pile of flaming flames! <br />Leave me alone! <br />Oh leave me alone! <br /> <br />A sinful tune I’ve just hummed <br />A blameless soul had I trapped, <br />Deep down the garden of thorns, <br />Deep down the chambers of untruthfulness… <br />Set him free! <br />Let him be! <br /> <br />It feels like being pursued by the angel of death, <br />As I can sense the momentary glare <br />from the viciousness of his somber eyes, <br />And haunt the nightmares of all nightmares <br /> <br />Can I keep this attic locked for eternity? <br />So that not a soul will venture? <br /> <br />That I shall wake in the arms of motherly warmth, <br />And sink into the bosom of truth. <br /> <br />Ah! Take me to your hands <br />And let the flow of pure water to wash away the filth <br />That long clotted the very stream of my soul…<br /><br />C.H.
