Broken Hope

The Dead Half

Broken Hope


My soul is split, half of it taken, 
Perhaps my blasphemy left me this forsaken, 
Put in this manner, filled me with dread 
Half of me rots because I am half dead 

Putrefying reek drives me insane, 
I'm living and deceased, rot seeps into my brain 
Horrid reality, oh so grim 

Current condition caused by God, 
The living side now must be calmed, 
I seek a mortician to have the dead half embalmed 

I try and walk, the dead half drags 
Living eye watched as decaying flesh sags, 
Marked by God, tormented living hell, 
Begging to die, I can't endure my smell 

Malicious revilement against God, 
Now by Christ, I'm abhorred, 
Doomed execration afflicted curse, 
Non-believers fate - forgive me lord 

An undertaker is my last hope, 
Intense mortification, I no longer cope 
Pathologists can't explain why one half died, 
End solution kill the living side.
