Behind Our Eyes

Beauty ,the tormented pain, hiding deep within. A web of abandoned emotions, wasted energies and chaotic dreams. A dark chastising silence, engulfed with flames. murderous contempt, within our hearts, for our fellow self. Thick black ashes, entangled in a web, of Stolen time, and memories. Learning life's lessons, harshly, without a forgiving word. Leaving us gasping, for the breath of life... LOVE!!
