raw sadness
quakes my soul.
something inside crashes,
breaking as glass,
to cut my internal being.
i bleed...
wet prisms soak my eyes
     and sting.
they fall from my face;
clearly
the blood of my body--
leaving me a hollow shell
to call my own.
my heart echoes in the
emptiness--
beating viciously
for the piece that was
stripped away...
the internal ache
shuffles through the darkness
to find its light--
only to find,
the stream at its feet
     is red;
there is no morning...

when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

To-morrow will be dying.
