Too Late

Lost

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

I smell dirt in my dreams, as I imagine the grave

Riding on a steed to collect my soul

Death comes for those who cannot be saved

*

The deepest of wounds on my heart are engraved

Now caught in my teeth, as regret takes hold

I smell dirt in my dreams as I imagine the grave

**

Demanding forgiveness for sins I enslaved

And a brokenness I can't console

Death comes for those who cannot be saved

***

Tearing the flesh, like a madman depraved

With my demons now taking control

I smell dirt in my dreams as I imagine the grave

****

No rest for the wicked, with myself to blame

No miracle could make this heart whole

Death comes for those who cannot be saved

*****

No, my spirit is broken, my soul in decay

A lifelong prisoner, with no chance for parole

I smell dirt in my dreams as I imagine the grave

Death comes for those who cannot be saved
