Dark Claws On Your Pools of Green

You lay there a broken hearted soul Torn asunder by those most hurtful wounds Harsh and painful they lay within you As your heart flutters and your mind spins They claw their way at you No longer do you feel happiness Only sadness Only pain I stare as I watch those dreaded claws Watch as they rip open your heart Watch as they tear away all that I cherish And as I see you crumble under the pain My own pain is re ignited I feel it even more keenly than before I can't stand it, you in pain Him, that dreaded evil Everything he does taunts me Every word he's ever said twists that single cord of my heart I'm coiled now, a spring, twisting and twisting I continue Soon it will happen, I feel it Too soon, I will snap It will not be pretty It will not be healthy Those broken pools of green haunt me now Staring through my soul Immolating all that is left of my heart Those broken and torn shards are fading Soon there will only be chars Shadows of previous loves Dark silhouette's against my huddling soul Huddling against the pain Against the darkness Against those dreaded claws But hiding only from those pools of green
