Nothing but pain.

No sea deep enough,
no dark black enough.
No death painless,
no resurrection coming.

Open myself up,
I see twisted roots.

What has happened,
what will happen,
down to the end,
and down deeper.

No sea black enough,
no dark deep enough.
Sleep not final,
dreams to awake,
to this terrible lie.

I know.
Nothing but pain.
Darkness and pain.
I know.

On and on it remains,
it's all so simple,
nothing but a grim heart.

-Will Dockery (May 18 1999)
