Fragile

Threads of crystal entwined within Such is the fabric of emotion we spin Intricately woven and fashioned with care Delicately laced vulnerable to fear The patterns and colors of lights trapped inside Escape through expression with nothing to hide Such things we call feeling of emotion we bear The inward reaction to the outward stare Through love, joy, anger, hate Each flash with power to kill or create We build up and tear down not thinking of dues Words spoken with passion are the tools which we use Dare I unleash this power on all By the power of others I will fall So the fragile essence of that which we are Is shattered and broken from internal war Was it of innocence that I react Or the burden of guilt, a cold hardened fact
