Sinful flame

by myxlittlexcut   Sep 1, 2005


Every night
a ritual will start
I'll engulf with fire
my black broken heart

the candles are lit
wax begins to melt
grab a hold of the flame
true pain will be felt

the burning sensation
goes straight to my soul
I've fallen from grace
and now I'll pay the toll

so let the wax drip down
falling upon my skin
allowing each drop
to purge me of my sins

    That was really sad, I guess it kinda made me think. Especially about the purging of sins, surely the physical punishment we inflict on ourselves (if we cut) is a sin, yet people are beaten for committing sins... Very good poem.
