Gloom of the Soul

Gloom of the soul
A cold sort of iron
and it's not in my blood

Discursive yet consistent
my rivers of saliva
drown bodies of reason

Yet my silence is so empty
my barren plains of solitude
the place where bodies starve

Gloom of the soul
Pour to feel poor
shackled to hold the crimes hostage

If Jesus bled on my behalf
then why is there blood on my hands?
