Bare footed steps of child like innocence
echo through my mind as a sickening reminder
that I walk through each night, alone.
Droplets of memories reflecting smiles filled
with the warm love of past embraces,
sing a drip drop of tragedy down
into my heart, painting the color of
my soul.
I crushed the bright dreams of love
everlasting, eternal happiness and
the stuff valentine's cards are made
of in-between my small hands.
To fall like shattered glass against the
dirty floor that is my world.
Mocking me with shards of kisses,
roses, and sweet whispers of nothing.
With every step I take, a choking
desire to feel all that I despise creeps
up from my chest into my throat, like
a snake hissing words of passion, with
a hint of betrayal so enticing.
And I wonder, will I ever meet him?
The man who's love runs just as pure
and deep as my own. Who could
love me with the fury of honesty and
the sincerity of loyalty.
The night only gets darker, as I continue
to walk alone, sneering into the world
with a secret desire, for a comforting
familiar hand to hold. One that I would
never let go.
Rip the mask of hate from my face,
drown my screams of anger in soft
words of compassion. Stand by my
side in this puzzle of life, hop scotch
through the missing pieces with me.
Walk on my path through the flames of
lessons learned, step with me on the coals
of mistakes made.
Drink fuel from the cup of things to come,
then gamble with a kiss on futures unknown.
I promise I won't ever let you get burnt.
Casting pale light
draining color from
faces of the world
Frozen whispers
promise icy demise
Shivering into
silent white embraces
Fear shatters beneath
kisses of numb against skin
Winter sucks life
into the beauty of death,
Alluring seas of snow
swallow enemies
While rebirth grows
Under the blanket of despair
