Welcome to Dark Tear's Poetry Corner...

i lay here still dreaming of you
your presence still demanding my clouds
my heart you seem to walk right through
and my tears you throw aside as shrouds
a crystal clear beam reaches my soul
yet a sharp blade ashes my mountain
a fickle stream tries to compare to the flow
but only a glacier sizes to the thunder within
my being now as hollow as the words you spoke to me
"i love you" ringing loud and harsh
on and on like a never ending echo
be-still my beating heart

my baby comes to me in my dreams
crying out for my overflowing love
i can't seem to hold onto shadows
though they cut me to the bone
i wonder if these screams i hear are of my claim
protruding groteskly from my own lips
horrifying the beauty hidden in thy soul
what was left of the cradling tear
that piercing stare severing my heart
ending all ties from the one within
except for that which cannot be broken
twill forever torment my weeping face
what shall i ever do without you
trying to smother the forever flame
only to find a blister on the core of happiness
please silence those painful whimpers
they echo numbly through the ancient red river
the river that bathes my unclean body
and drowns my sinful breath

the backbone of my fears thrives on your crime
the decay from your poison seeping deep
my limbs have grown numb to the touch
and yet you--the weed--cultivate
the false flower we all thought was so pure
tis now a part of me
how do i separate these flaws from my inner self
be rid of your ever presence
taking back what is mine
so that you will never forget
my love should have meant so much
but your lies meant much more
suffocating the breath of my tears
