Purgatory Poem by Michael Saurer

She is the woman of my dreams
And now the reason for my screams
Never realized how I felt
Till hell exploded, heavens melt

She doesn't know where I'm at
She's happy while I'm going mad
Cannot tell her what is wrong
Need to appear somewhat strong

There's no way to look into her eyes
It could cause crimson tears to rise
So I'm brooding here in hell
The only place I cannot dwell

I do not know if she'd miss me
If I left for none to see
Trouble- she's too important for me to leave
And I never wore my heart upon my sleeve

So what's the road I'm going to travel
Do I just lose myself in gravel
No, I have to find my strength again
I need a way to beat the pain

Another day in purgatory
Pain here's not just mandatory
But I'm the one who will survive
Still not broken, still alive

She may be the woman of my dreams
But do not listen to my screams
Cause I'll not run, I will not hide
In the end no one breaks my pride
