- Bottomless Sorrow -

"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief"
                                              Quote by _Constance La France

                             The grieving soul cannot let go
                             true and unpleasant reality
                             Fear of losing my mind 
                             a bitter nectar that burns the lips
                             Shattered by disappointment and betrayal
                             sharp tinkling shards of glass
                             footprint paints bloody streaks
                             - brushes through the pain 

                             Ceramic tears
                             under merciless screams
                             Weakness as jelly
                             trembling cold breath
                             one feels so insignificant
                             Night's disguise
                             strings for shadowy marionettes
                             - death of the full moon
