Drowning In Her Tears

Echoes from a haunting refrain buried deep within the many corridors of her heart, weave their tangled, worn threads playing on her memories like the delicate, frayed strings of a lonely violin Lingering whispers intricately seek the depths to the labyrinth of her soul creating a tapestry of wild cinnamon roots and twisted leaves Her wounds of torn and shattered illusions roar their voices in her mind like a jungle of ethereal savagery that clipped her silken dreams leaving her flying with broken wings He'd betrayed her with his feigned love leaving her void of soothing rhythms in which to bathe her wounded flesh Fractured fragments of terra cotta stones and random pieces of broken seashells was the substance used as ragged patches for her tattered, broken heart The mortar- damp from tears that fell like foggy, misty rain on delicate, shattered glass Amethyst, turquoise skies filled the air with the earthy smell of oncoming storms. Every fiber unraveled and unnerved her senses as if she were on fire... leaving her skin like that of a peeled orange revealing the depth and layers of her strangled emotions In the dark stillness of the night... she heard roaring blood curdling drumbeats of loud, rumbling thunder- shooting its devouring bolts of lightning... shaking the whole of all Creation She stood in the shadows- aching- bewildered running breathlessly, seeking a fortress of safety as the drumbeats followed her every move The whole of Earth was suddenly filled with many echoed songs of past remembered moons He did not care her heart was broken, leaving her shivering, drowning in her own tears All she had left was a broken heart... cold as ice *~*
