Take Comfort
In the loneliness of darkness
In the backlash of cruel words
My mind seeks your comfort
As the pages in the fire curl
Ink bleeds sharply
Into my paper skin
Lines of your etchings and your poems
Embedded deep within
From my lips seep a whisper
In my dreams I call your name
Tears of my rain
Drip down your window pane
Shattered mirrors reflect your eyes
Like a window through time
The first day you swore you loved me
The day you got tangled in your lies
Still in this frozen moment
I remember a song we once sang
Our lips met in softness
Becoming morphine to our pain
Our lullaby I softly sing
Listening to the mirage of a piano
Now like silk I lay draped
My heart taking comfort
In the memories that we made
