I Don't Want To Die A Coward by Banjam32(m): 5:15pm On Apr 09, 2020 |
And the fear catches me every time, My heart remembers the coward I became, One which could not save the misgivings Of a dying friend shot for his act of valor . Folded hands angle on my chest, Knees glided in a sort of knitted threads, Of a late night wanderer out on a vigil-like quest, Where gathering guilts dawns as he dreads Could I have seek for open admittance from a priest? . But what use is begging the wrong side for forgiveness? Unless if phantoms of man heed the call of remission, Understood only by him who finds contentment In being unbound of memories past . I see my soul now consumed In the flames of Hellfire! In my final strength and emotion, Down on my knees, I say one last act of valor: Father in Heaven, I don't want to die a coward. . .
