To You I Turn

as my soul sheds tears
liquid sparkling crystals
yet, still so sharp
no one ever hears
    to you I turn
seeking blissful comfort
filling for the holes
craving the sound of an angel's harp
to slaughter the dreadful hurt
    to you I turn
as my heart screams
a silent yet piercing wail
heard by none
I'm devoured by shattered dreams
    to you I turn
craving love's sweetest touch
needing to tell my tale
believing the pain will be done
as in fairy tales and such
    to you I turn
I turn to you
obeying a basic command
of my tortured heart
to myself being true
    hoping for the touch of your tender hand
    putting together what's been torn apart
    only to be pushed away
    and watch my love go astray
yet, still, I turn to you.
