Fractured Soul

Eyes surrender to the amber of the morning light 
Beguiled and stagnate is the mind from the somber of the night 
And again begins the whispers of the voices from ago 
And to its torment colorless ignites the thoughts that flow 
Questions rise to surface though elusive as the wind does blow 
Blood stained hands equate the sign of death as all is lost 
It stands the hairs up on end as fear bears all the cost 
Lying motionless for days and weeks and even months on end 
Waiting in this silent pain in hopes to love again 
Watching velvet clouds race by across the azure sky 
Blank stare against the landscape and still no answer why 
And in all that’s been accomplished and in all the failures cost 
Full circle now the consequence is all that has been lost 
Approaching near the apex of the mountain of life's climb 
Bittersweet divided thoughts in a life that’s out of time
 There is no chance to love again, no chance to be reborn 
And no hope to gain the strength from that which has been worn 
Stagnate is the heart that cries empty like the hollow 
No chance to mend regrets and the transgressions that soon did follow 
Kinfolk rejection looms especially from the seed 
The fractured Soul begins to cry and the heart begins to bleed 
No tears left to cry from eyes that cannot cry 
For there's no one to embrace as now the heart does sigh
 One journey down and one to go as darkness fades the light 
And fear and sadness sets the tone as it’s time for final flight 
So throughout all this imperfectness the fractured Soul cries out 
No options left to make amends or to go a different route 
And so the time has come to silent tortured mind 
The heart no longer beating has been extinguished at its prime 
For hope has since expired and the grave be cold and deep 
For it is what it shall be from the life once sowed and now reaped.
