The world that was Heaven

Enjoying the cool summer basking on the beach,

I embraced the spoiled world being unleashed.

Unaware that I am blinded by fake pleasure,

It felt like I found a lost golden treasure.

Unable to foresee what's coming down upon me,

I failed to realize I was being perished away slowly.

Trapped in a bubble filled with poisoned air,

Breathing it in blatantly without a tinge of care.

I detested the world which shielded me from evil,

As I was becoming a dangerous weevil.

It guided me in the path of righteousness,

Although my life was overgrowing sinfulness.

I kept ignoring that dearly loving world

As if it never existed and never born.

I was getting lost in my own imaginary world

Into the subtle space that was never known.

To realize the truth, it is now very late;

I have already gone too far to reach my own fate.

My eyes can hardly see where I am going

After losing trace of that heaven once I lived in.

This world of mine is not accepting me anymore;

Where there was glory is now painted in gore.

It is ruthlessly loathing me for what I am,

Casting me out as the thing that is damned.

Now I am only filled with unbearable regret

Which is torturing me to die in cold sweat.

Suffering with murderous guilt and despair,

I am left paralyzed and insanely scared.

Having butchered my life by my own hands,

I am desperately dying to go back to that divine land.

Now, only a miracle can save me from being forsaken,

To help me return to the world that was Heaven.
