Blades of Kindness

Vexatious destroyer of my soul behold what has been done Timeless and eternal I cycle through endless days of woe Into the shadows of chaos I go - seeking, searching and lost Swiftly your knife slices cleanly in, into my flesh so weak That blade of kindness cuts to the core Digging, delving and sore What’s there to find? Nothing but air - a hole in need of repair Such a tattered soul as mine today can hardly take it in Grasping for hands lovingly sent ethereal mists enshroud Pain and anguish tear through my being, for what does this portend? Loss, abandonment, deeper sorrow - punishment for my sin One more kind word will slay me As ribbons of flesh lay scattered Scattered in this world of pain I need, and hate, and yearn, and cry A total wreck am I Tears escape unbidden as endless cycles resume
