A WORLD WITHOUT A SUN

A WORLD WITHOUT A SUN


A world without a sun is what
My life has now become.
The slightest ray of hope does not
Enter my dark hell hole.

The scars of the heart are deeper
Than those of the body.
Deeper yet are those of the soul,
Given to the Devil.

None can now retrieve me from the
Abyss of sin where I
Find myself decaying alive
In my own poor debris.

My world is black and cold and dark,
And so it will remain,
Till one day I'm buried in this
Abominable pit.
