A Glimmer of Sorrow
Posted on: February 20, 2009, at 11:27:22pm

A broken and battered soul
Underneath a bruised and bloodied heart
Animate feeling hardened to coal
A life now torn apart

Eyes like glass, stomach like lead
Hands clawing at the throat of inevitable
A second's pass, our daily bread
Prepares us not for the incredible

Life seems almost too much to bare
Love found, love gained, love lost, love stained
Dries our tears and leaves its glare
Misery mocks our pitiful restrain

Somehow, somewhere lies a glimmer of hope
A quick and heavenly glint of the eye
While the hands of sorrow still grope
Wherein the newly blackened hearted lie

Sometimes even the darkened of mind
Can be tainted and cracked open eggshell white
Even a tiny shining sliver can find
That where happiness shines oh so slight

Henceforth the battle of light and dark
The wails of agony and the songs of lovebirds
Scarring life, leaving mark
Clash into ill forgotten words

I love you, I hate you
I miss you, i loath you
I need you, I own you
I have you, i lost you
I am whole, i am nothing
I am strong, i am helpless
I am one, i am many
i am alone
I am never alone

And a glint in the eye become a shining beacon
To all who are love lost, all who are life lost
To the answers of life to which those are seeking
Of the neglegent paths that we never crossed
Of the sorrow filled rivers that are often leaking
To the memories of forgotten happiness never tossed-


The shimmering image of a heart is winking
