Beautiful Agony

Evoke
One word
A millions thoughts
Evoke
Agony
What shoots through your head
What cripples you to the floor
What clutches your soul
What tears at your core
Evoke
Beauty
What catches your breath
What holds you frozen in place
What makes you long 
What etches your face
Evoke
Beautiful Agony
Can you see it in
A tear of pain
As it drips down your face
Like midnight rain
Can you see it in
eyes longing for love
Looking for mercy
Searching above
Can you see it in
shoulders that shake
As you quietly sob
While your heart gently breaks
Is there Beautiful Agony
In the music you play
As you pour out your heart
At the break of day
Is there Beautiful Agony
In hands that slip
As you lose your soul
As you lose your grip
Does it dwell in the darkness
Or does it dwell in the light
Or does it dwell between both 
Just out of sight
