Shadow hangs over

The birds chatter breaks the sound of electricity shadowed.
The sun's weak light does not break the cold's tenacity, shadowed.

The cries of the cat don't pull at my back and she worries somewhere else.
What ominous words have been spoken in secret ferocity, shadowed.

Our house's darkness holds visions veiled from me.
Morning brings new fears and my life stays shadowed.

Forgive me

How much of the hatred in my mind represents your design? Forgive me.
The hostility of others assaults my mind. Forgive me.

I see my sins and sort through them still with exhaustion.
I keep looking at my sins and pulling myself up crying. Forgive me.

The random lusts live with wasted money in a space so vast in my life.
Where I should have beeen seeing I remained blind. Forgive me.
