Insanity Transfixed

My heartbeat’s irratic; caught in the static,
Of memories’ past.
Lungs inhale dreams, nightmares in seams;
Don’t let it last. 

Believing in the Above, of heavenly love;
I’m on my knees. 
Visions burst aflame through searing pain;
Prayers are now pleas. 

Assault on perfection, further disgression;
Lost to the night.
I have this red heart that beats in part;
A terrible sight.

I used to be golden but now am beholden,
To the Devil below. 
Cuffed to these chains, I will remain,
With darkness in tow.

I swore on the Bible against my rival,
But lied to the Son.
I leave disgraced, a brand on my face;
No battle won.

Tears without meaning, toward the edge leaning;
Emotions well mixed.
Sin has been bought, all good left to rot;
Insanity transfixed.
