obscured vision

0 posted 2001-10-31 02:56 PM


a sharp pain of despair
cutting my heart into pieces
scattered like so many fallen leaves

the spread of butterflies in my gut
a twist of hopeless illusion grandeur
reaching the night of obsidian stars

forever lost in an encompassing dream
fated to repeat a childhood gone by
a hope I let slip through my hand

innocent tears not able to be shed
peace bestowed but lost in the confusion
of the ageless answer that wont come out right

searching so long not knowing what I seek
regrets I wished I could turn back
I've lost everything not able to believe

a shapless lie I see so very clearly
mirror image that was my faith
ground into a silky dust of obsolete ivory

my soul torn apart at the seams
missing links never to be replaced
evanescent I slowly  meld into nothing

“A single choice can build destinies,or destroy them.”

I know Im not perfect but I can smile
& I hope that you c this heart behind my tired eyes

ooh this one's really, really good Tifferage! *nods* I liked its depth a lot. "forever lost in an encompassing dream, fated to repeat a childhood gone by, a hope I let slip through my hand" I really liked that stanza. Write on!
