Grief

Drip drop drip drop;
red in the snow.

A soul emerged without its light 
worn, torn and tired.

Under a facade of a smile; 
hiding a want and desire.

A relief from its torment;
Nothingness is all it hears.

How easy a heart can wither
with each hurtful word.

Under ballads that play and echo
to tunes which break the spirit.

Unlocking a silent passage 
of hopelessness and grief.
