A Hard Sound

The sound is hard 
 Brutal like a knife 
 Cutting deep 
 Slicing apart feelings
 Emotions 
 Things that bind 
 Words razored 
 Feelings discard 
 The trappings of tenderness 
 Lost 
 a Hurting sound
 Made by thoughts
 fears and tears
 Struggling to persevere
 Destroying the fine lines of years 
 Tracing a wounded heart 
 Sacrificing all to   
 The ones we love 
 Just to be burned away 
 A sound hard
 Like breaking ice
 Hurting a delicate sound
