Heal Me Now

I see these people
Walking past me
Paying no attention to me
I try to get them to stop
To realize that the path
They are taking
Only ends in death
“No! There is something better”
I yell at them
I wave at them
And try to get their attention
But they pay no attention
And walk on
Towards the jaws
Of the serpent
Death and Hell
Are in his eyes
I see the hate
That feeds him
As it flows
Through this world
In
On
And around me
The life is being slowly drained from me
I feel it flow away
Like the paint being chipped
Slowly away
By the sands of time
But now I feel no more pain
No more hate
No more…
I look up
And see Him
Forming a barrier
Between me
And the world
That drains life from me
He hangs there
Half dead
Nailed to this cross
The nails that hold Him
Are ones that I nailed
Into his wrists
I pounded them in
“I hate you!” I yelled
With every swing
“I love you!” he replied
Each time I swung
He said it again
Until at last
I could not see
Through the tears
To swing another stroke
I dropped the hammer
And fell to my knees
Forgive me I plead
Father I repent of my evil deeds
Cleanse me
And heal me
As I stay on my knees
