Suddenly...
That moment...
The realization hits
A single tear falls
Betraying my will to
hold it in
Emotions do their best
to flood my senses
The sharp edge of a
gasp
Like shattered glass
Steals my breath
A steady silence comes
calling
A still embrace
Light fades...
Lost within the
darkness that has moved over me
It wears like a heavy
blanket
The truth chases away
any lingering happiness
No sense in asking
questions
When all that follows
are lies
This, simply put...
Is an ugly part of life
Breaking something that
once was solid
Pulling the thread that
has come loose
Watching a beautiful
tapestry woven shred
Eaten away by the acid
of words not spoken
All vanishes before the
waking eye
As communication breaks
So do the heart strings
supporting itself
Piece by piece chaos
digs its claws in
Holding hostage the
life I had come to know
With such heartache
It seems like life now
solely exists upon the head of a pin
I have to remind myself
to breath easy
To pull in the calming
air
So I don't lose myself
with in my thoughts
And be consumed by the
deeper parts of such twisted darkness
I force myself to pause
Hold tight to my
being
And exhale slowly...
