Story From An Impoverished Heart 1
The world turned silent with a strange discourse.
A sadness covered with its darker shade,
To extinguish heart's light without remorse,
And blinded the eyes when its light did fade.
Captured by darkness enduring its pain,
Lost in this world, a now hidden face.
All the tomorrows will find only rain.
Touched by madness that my sorrows embrace.
Dying within with a heart that won't glow.
Frightened by silence when pauses depart.
Alone on an edge with nothing below.
This lonely despair, this sadness, this heart.
To weep in the mist where loneliness feeds.
As this severed heart lays open, now bleeds.
