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
