A Thousand Holes

I lost sight of love in a hail of gunfire
Its direction hurt my eyes
No freedom for failure
Letting go for nothing
Repeating instances in the middle
Every broken step you tread
This war I fight inside my mind
Is nothing more than things you’ve said
The balance, of my days, is not in my control
Deny, what holds you down, to find out you’re the hole
Another fracture. Repent and recede
Another failure. Tear and deceive
I can’t live on broken faith, so release my bleeding hands
My final greed for air
My sewn up heart is leaking blood, so give me back my ignorance
And let life start again
I touch the punctures like small perfections
Freedom from the fall
All you can see are a thousand holes
Exposing every flaw
WHO IS BEYOND FORGIVENESS
PIERCE YOURSELF AND SEE WITH YOUR HEART
And in this gunfire I am perfected
Its heaven, its love, its lust
And with this fracture I am repented
Dissolve into the dust

I don't profess to totally understand it, but I think it is brilliantly written. I have often thought in life when I hit a rough road and seemed to have many empty holes in my life that it would be so much easier to just crawl into one and disappear. Reality, not a good idea; fantasy wise, works for me!
"Another fracture. Repent and recede
Another failure. Tear and deceive"
This is my favorite part. I think tht is tremendous and sums up the pain. No one can understand another's pain, but that comes pretty close in my mind.
