I thought the ladder had been
   thrown down
That the angel was somehow alive
   but the cats came
   the sidewalk cracked
   and the stars faded away

I caught your reflection in a shard
   of broken mirror
You were crying tears of blood
   candles were lit
   glasses were raised
   the young turned their backs

I felt the pain pulling me down
   through the mercury floor
Grasping at any hand offered
   still I shrunk further
   the dogs ran away
   the coffee soothed the flames

I saw the light of God above
   and ran
Fled from the swirling feathers
   but Ice froz all
   trees shoke bare
  and no one opened their eyes


memmories are photo albums in your heart.

Blistering sadness, I was involved from beginning to end.

Very bitter... Great portrayel of deep emotions. It was a story in a hidden view to me.
