Dagger Torn Grief
"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief"
Quote by _Constance La France
It's not always - this tearing pain occurs, yet, so often,
As though it has taken my heart on lease for its coffin;
Somewhere, in a corner, hangs this dagger. I don't know where,
I can feel the pain; I am unable to mark the tear...!
My pain is not new, nor my grief vivid; nor the tear rear,
The dagger has been hurting in some corner; pains I bear;
Unknown feelings are born and they die; tearing and wearing,
No one is seen nursing my wounds, and, for my needs, caring...!
There is, yet, some pleasantness I feel in this unseen tear,
Is it a symbol of some fine mercy beyond compare?
Unknown bleeding within is pooling many a feeling,
Amidst dagger and tear and pain and grief I feel healing...!!!
