The pain in her eyes
Burrows into my heart
Shaping the torment
That’s hidden in darkness
To cut from my eyes
In tears and blood
All hope of a pleasant love

Shattering happiness
Because of fear
Of ripping away her everything
In shadows and light
Of a bloodless body
With an even lesser soul
The calamity of such emptiness
Is my tranquil melancholy
And we needn’t flow
Into anything that’s known

It’s evident that we’re clueless
In this chaotic world
When our voices reach each other
And we forget we’re here
Should we be oblivious?
Or mourn the wreaking havoc?
Even if it were to change
To get there is to writhe in pain…

"The calamity of such emptiness
Is my tranquil melancholy"

You express the pain of mourning well.  Thought provoking read.

always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same
