The hand written confession,
she left by the bed…
Was filled with dark secrets,
from deep within her head…
Revealing her anguish and
stained by her tears…
It was an accumulation,
built up through the years…
She’s now left it behind,
for those close to read…
As her battle scarred soul,
was released and finally freed…
And this detailed explanation,
confessed all her sins…
All the mistakes she made,
whilst encouraged to sing…
By the Devil in her heart,
such a forbidden lover…
Who took full control and
distracted like no other…
She was attracted to him,
like a moth to a flame…
She couldn’t resist him and
she carried that shame…
Along with many secrets,
that she hid from her world…
As she risked everything,
whilst the whirlwind whirled…
And swept her up into,
a deceitful double life…
Rendezvousing with strangers and
sexual encounters in the night…
But the thrill of the moment,
bore the heavy price of guilt…
And the cold morning light,
would waken her demons inbuilt…
Who haunted her days,
till she could take no more…
And when she finished the letter,
she finally ended that war…

Nice one! The title is a great line isn’t it!
Thanks Leroy – there were so many lines I could have chosen from this song – such was the power in it! Cheers J
ahhh…the song that made me fall in love with Hozier…..I absolutely love the poem you put with it J….very powerful, sometimes you can only outrun your demons so long….love this -alex
Sweetie, it takes a combination of self-discipline and GOD, but you can outrun your demons for ALL time.
Thanks for taking the time to comment – Cheers J
And I still have you to thank for introducing me to Hozier – I now have his album on vinyl and it sounds soooooo good! Cheers J
Oh wow, vinyl..I am gonna have to start a collection of those before they disappear. Ya know, I was going thru some music articles when this song popped up as number one for somethin….I listened to it, and was hooked. You are so welcome. They are amazing. Again, loved this piece with the song as well..but yes, Hozier..just have this sound..when you want to hear them…you want to listen…great to see you J… Cheers -alex
Vinyl is coming back in fashion – my collection was only started 4 months or so ago and I already have 50 or so – I would encourage it!! It’s therapeutic too, plus I am sick of downloading for £££ and having nothing in my hands to show for it!! Cheers J
I so agree…am going to look into this here! Thanks 🙂
And when she finished the letter,
she finally ended that war…
Ahh, the ticking time bomb of self destruction- pretty hard to run away from our-self.
Indeed it is Keith – Cheers J

I’ve been meaning to write a poem with this song as inspiration. It’s a magnificent and powerful piece, and you have captured that power in your own words. Very well done.
Hey Rana – thank you for your kind words – once you write your poem – feel free to submit to me for a guest poet slot and I will feature it – the song is so powerful – I really wish I could write like that! Cheers J
Here’s the one I came up with. Thinking this might not be the last one. 😉

Intense. Beautifully scribed.
Thanks! Cheers J
Glad you liked my haiku post. Even though my book of poetry was published last spring, I never tried haiku before. Amazed it is so popular.
I still haven’t tried it out, but admire those who do it well – Cheers J
If you do, follow the “directions” for modern haiku. The traditional is difficult in English and easier in Japanese apparently because of the difference in the way the languages are structured.
Beautiful!
Thank you Steph! Cheers J
