Beautiful Agony

Evoke One word A millions thoughts Evoke Agony What shoots through your head What cripples you to the floor What clutches your soul What tears at your core Evoke Beauty What catches your breath What holds you frozen in place What makes you long What etches your face Evoke Beautiful Agony Can you see it in A tear of pain As it drips down your face Like midnight rain Can you see it in eyes longing for love Looking for mercy Searching above Can you see it in shoulders that shake As you quietly sob While your heart gently breaks Is there Beautiful Agony In the music you play As you pour out your heart At the break of day Is there Beautiful Agony In hands that slip As you lose your soul As you lose your grip Does it dwell in the darkness Or does it dwell in the light Or does it dwell between both Just out of sight
