I Surrender Poem by Bancroft Boreland

I surrender my bereft heart
Do with it what you wish
I surrender my wretched soul
I no longer desire to exist
I surrender my list-less eyes
Myself I cannot bear to see
I surrender my ominous dreams
Bury them in the darkest corner
Of the graveyard
I surrender my tenebrous life
It means nothing to me
I surrender my dilapidated faith
Because death took my family
And God did nothing to stop him
What did I ever do to deserve this?

Life goes on but I cannot
I shall die from an overdose of sorrow
And maybe…
Maybe then my soul will drift off into
The black silence of eternity…
