Death to Pain

By Ashrei (Ima Sari Wisenthal)

G-d, sometimes I just hate You.

Even when I can see where this is going,

The pain of this path in one I cannot keep ignoring.

No point in asking why.

No meaning in looking at the sky.

Emptiness is present once more,

Love ripped away, again.

Your schedule is not in the speed I wish to play.

My gratitude is gone, my faith still strong,

My mind shatters between the notes of their songs.

Waves of pleasure and pain are always the same;

A switch of a single thought - a decision of converting light from death.

I committed to Your path, but not to Your timing.

I didn't understand how torturous this world is;

Spaghettifying my soul into the abyss of a missing kiss.

G-d, You bring me to my knees a thousand times,

For You - when will enough be enough?

How many deaths can one soul contain?

Come take me away, come take me - a breath of darkness.

Come on G-d, kiss me Your kiss of death.

For an empty body is a purposeless vessel,

Collect it back to Your grounds - collect Thy Pain.

Let me cry blend with Thy Winds,

And I'll whisper to them from beyond.

There is nothing left for the taking,

So take me, G-d, please - away let me come.

Make this moment end.

No commitments are made in this darkness,

Only lies and distance.

Stop lying to me, stopping hissing this pain.

Stop hiding in my mind - free me of these chains.
