Splinter

Slow falls the gentle smile and nevermore settles to eyelash light In humbled sorrow of now lentissimo rhythms of burdened heart too sad to utter a moments tear that wanders petulant on a distressful cheek I care not says the resolve of whimpering eyes and to falsify the endeavors of strength carries this weeping soul embraced in thunderous acclaims of a wretched throat Drown myself in weighted parchments for no voice can repeat this riotous rancour undisputed without complaint for life is ever cruel it seems Slow falls the gentle smile and evermore settles sluggish on loves intent to dissipate Within this grey stain assails a violent storm I rest upon the cold stone of calm to conquer this agony for no-one Slow falls the gentle smile never willing to relinquish illusions hope or admit to the the apparitions of despair but you cannot walk away from the indefatigable spike their driven nails disparity obscure Prometheus stop this beating heart
