Between Heaven And Hell Poem by Mark Heathcote

Look when I look into your eyes
So blue and clear so sincere.
I feel like I'm a guilty, dirty inhuman defendant
Being judged between, heaven and hell, hell and heaven.
What category prisoner am I, A, B, C or D. tonight now darling?
When I sit in solitary confinement listening
To our silent echoes passing without a spoken word
In that moment's second thought
Within that moment's hurtful glance
I have to wonder, why
These moments last
Imprisoning me for an eternity
Between, you and I baby
Being judged between, heaven and hell, hell and heaven.
I have to ask what category prisoner is I, A, B, C or D. tonight now darling.

So, yes, I am caught me is trapped like a wingless bird
But not for the first time
Oh, darling please remind me you are mine, I don't want to be
Some old jailbird you set free
From this our communal cage
I don't want like you, debaucheries to rage.
Love I've done my penance give me a sign
Acquit me of all my crimes
Yes, I feel like a guilty man I feel like I'm being judged
On every single thing, I do if it doesn't include you.
Oh, I don't want to be set, free honey
I only wish to spend eternity with you.

Because you see
I'm caught, between
Heaven and hell, hell and heaven
Oh, if a perfect darkness
Chains me, guides me from its solitary confinement
Blind me with the amnesty of your love.
Look when I look into your eyes
So blue and clear so sincere the night times never dark.
