Finale Poem by Chris Frando

Running away From the agony and misery of the past
Looking for a place to hide, where no one can see me broken like glass.

Then I found it in an eighty four by twenty eight by twenty three inched shade
Narrow and shallow, and it is six feet under.

And sweats drowning me, I can’t breathe.
Like feeling the eight hundred Celsius degree.
My soul is manacled with this corrupted body.
Dust returning to dust like in Genesis.

The sound of silence whispering in my ears, the darkness embracing me with fear
Lying where no one has no power to restrain the wind with wind

When I open my eyes, it is darkness.
But when I close it, I see his face
With all the memories that I can’t erase that tearing up my heart into pieces.

It’s all flashing back in my sense.
When we were intimately in love
Promised that we’ll never leave each other “till death do us part”

Until one day, the flame of love suddenly fade.
And for someone else he said goodbye and just left.

How am I supposed to live without the one who gives my life a meaning?
The One who keeps my heart on beating, to whom I surrendered myself and gave everything?

But now, I’m letting go of life and embracing death.
In Sheol where there is no love, no hope, no faith.
I know that one day I will be resurrected with a new being living from death.
