I’m standing on the brink of damnation
All my bridges burned
Silently waiting, for it to be my turn
Long I have stood here
Frozen in place
Silently remembering, all the moments of hate
With an understanding
That nothing can be done
Silently missing, each and everyone
But this is the fate I have chosen
No one else to blame
Silently hating, the fact I couldn’t change
So here I stand in judgment
Awaiting the decree
Silently hoping, that thou has not forsaken me
Though knowing I deserve no forgiveness
Not the slightest reprieve
Silently needing, something to believe
Because it was long ago that I fell
Consumed by desire and greed
Silently searching, for that which I need
Thus I became misguided
Selfish thoughts all my own
Silently traveling into the vast unknown
Without the slightest direction
Vacant of all light
Silently seeking a way through the night
