The better I become
Yet I look back
And am where I had begun

The days pass on
Sin upon sin is born
Regretful, I move faster
Dwelling in time to mourn

I had worked so hard
And for so very long
To get where I was
To correct what was wrong

Yet one short second
Tore all that away
The once beaming sun was murdered
By the dark and demented shade of grey

Why must such a difference exist
Like back verses front
Or like what is right
Verses what I want

I can no longer look in the mirror
For I have made too big of a mistake
It's weighing down my hopes and dreams
Caused my heart to blacken, shatter, and break

If forgiveness for this is available
Please, Lord, it's what I need
I acted upon the unthinkable
Committed a wretched deed [comments] => 2 [counter] => 231 [topic] => 75 [informant] => dreamer_4_eternity [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )

Acting upon the Unthinkable

Topic: anguished

And am where I had begun

The days pass on
Sin upon sin is born
Regretful, I move faster

And for so very long
To get where I was
To correct what was wrong

Yet one short second

The once beaming sun was murdered
By the dark and demented shade of grey

Please, Lord, it's what I need

Loved it - especially this stanza...

"Why must such a difference exist
Like back verses front
Or like what is right
Verses what I want"

I relate and it was beautifully written and expressed. well done.

wow, Dreamer, I really liked this. Left me pondering what it was you did, but thinking at the same time I don't really want to know, it would take away from the anguish of the write. I too, agree with Zena the fifth stanza was very nice, my personal fav.
