Jaded

Beautiful
 jaded soul 
 Roses 
casket draped
Cracked masterpiece
Tears of joy
Peaceful intent 
Grief-stricken heart 
No love light lit
Tunnel growing black 
Nothing begins
 Soul drowning 
grasping 
too swift to swim
Gusts blowing
 lightning striking
Feelings useless 
heart pretends
Strength garnished
 Hope lost
Useless emotion
 With sickening cost
