The limbo inbetween August 20th 2012

  

give me heaven or give me hell

 the limbo in between bequeaths me no relief

 from pain, the undecided landscape

 the shackles that bind me to nothing

and provide no relief

 just perpetual questions

 of this or that

give me hell and I might endure

 carry it on my shoulder

the way Atlas does the world

 or give me heaven so I might heal

 the self-inflicted injuries

 and find joy in thy company

I swim in a lake that has no shore

just fog that haunts my days

and undigested dreams by night

the ghosts of past, present and future

haunting me

if you give me hate I will endure

even when I ache for love
