Babylon

. I don't feel very good about this one, maybe it wasn't meant to be...anyway here it is

Babylon, Faithless city,
harmful as a jail
Square as a knife
so many details,
in my mind..the night.
Once again I failed
To keep myself in life.


Jerusalem, faceless city
Has become such a stranger
A wonder for my eyes to see
Condemn me for ever !
A sight from which I can't flee
Make of me the damned hangover
Forbidding me to jump in the sea.

Heaven, unreachable city ?
Such a sweet image lightening my Face
A hopeful grin birthing in my eyes
A strong yearning for this place
And my heart in the middle of a fight
...
...
Trying to get through this wall
Out of this hole
Each time I stand up again
It is to crash once more and faint.
Clutching desesperatly
For what I can almost feel
But not fully enough
to be filled.
