Agonised - Benediction

Agonising road to ruin

Fright filled roots of soul

Iconoclasmic nightmare watching

Grief now uncontrolled

Uncertain loss, my pain — frustration

Now to reign regret

Wreaking havoc, near undoing

The trauma that dejects

Desolated mindful obstruct

Shattered scream to loudly erupt

Pierce the night, a resoundning crash

Lying dormant, bleeding and gashed

Agonised

Innocence removed fleetingly

Childhood replayed

Remembering the best of times

Still remain dismayed

Near loss of one who’s so close

Loving relative

Wishing I could turn the clock back

Lose my will to live

Driven to distraction grossly

Morbid mind, it roars

Taken from this mortal coil?

Is the Reaper at the door?

Linear thinking — positive

Yet defeat never stops

Overriding all the senses

Heart begins to drop

Agonised

Fear the worst, irrational

Wounds are unsevere

Recovery is imminent

Temped fate now cleared

Relief bringing but emotion

Tears begin to flow

A life was spared from grisly ending

A life still yet to grow

Agonised
