Blood and Iron

Old unfinished poem that speaks from a different no less important part of me.

Once this soul lived for Blood and Iron
I can feel it in my bones.
Once I lived to draw from others
What could not be drawn from a stone
I feel alone
Ive felt this way my entire life
I was never meant to live a life of peace
and I hope against hope one day it will cease
without my choice
and I can stand up again to look my desire in its face
and stop living in the shame I created for myself
I despise the world outside this curtains lace
I live through the pages I keep upon a shelf
This useless age where the sword has gone
to draw blood over a death and life was once understood
now it is seen as a great shame
I cannot even give this world a name
It is so unfamiliar I hate it so
I have not any more love to give
I live in despair and gave up long ago.
Blood and Iron was once the rules that won the tide
why did I miss the only choice that would have brought me close to such a fate
the fate I desire so much before I sleep and when I wake
I feel ruined and unable to take
The thought of dying old in my bed.
My stomach turns into sand
My greatest fear is my greatest threat
To die old and frail
and then to not die a way I choose
My heart screams out for conflict
and dead I should of been long ago.
and the greatest tragedy of it all deep into my soul
is I did not take what could have have been a substitute
Instead I took another adventure ahold
and ran myself into the ground with never a weapon in my hand.
and killed everything that could have helped me stand again.
Now its dead and Ive got to many more years to live.
What have I done...?
I had so much of myself to give
My dreams are only where blood has fallen on the ground
and Iron falls deep into a soft place.
I feel im for a certain hell long bound
and this hell is white and pure with grace.

Completley unfinished..sounds bad...and not a good poem..but i was actually very distraught here..probably why it isnt well thought out ..or well done...its old and I was trying to convey something I hadnt yet...but as dramatic as it sounds it does have rings of truth.
