Pain

A heart fragmented like shards of glass 
Shards of glass each one stabbing
Stabbing pains searing a mind
A mind demented by torturous lies
Torturous lies kept in darkness
In darkness a cry not heard in the solitude
In the solitude of the suffering 
The suffering that keeps the light subdued
The light subdued dulls the senses
The senses held tight in a body recoiled
A body recoiled, longs for absolution
Absolution entrusted by enchanted souls
Enchanted souls dancing 
Dancing in the light of hope
Hope and dream in the silence 
The silence escapes when walls come down
Down where sweet voices sing
Sing into the wind and be carried
Carried off on an angels wing

Like the use of shards of glass. Yes the actions of others effect everyone that they touch. Relationships can build or put down. Reach higher for a more suitable friend. Keep writing. Sara
