FOR Angel:

Coldness meets the stillness,
on a perceptionless December morning.
The tyrant living in my heart
doesn't want to part.

Guilt with a painless vengeance.
Diligent in a moments reticulated abuse
icicles of love,
stabbing through a numb heart.

Puddles for free
blood dripping
releasing from a pain in the moonlight.
something about this isn't quite right.

Tell me a lie
that things could possibly be okay
hang the coldness in your heart
bring stillness to your temper.

Hanging on to nothingness,
diamonds and rust,
untitled with dignity,
you've lost.

No lies from me. I still say pain without growth is suffering without purpose. So look for the lesson. The sooner it's learned the sooner it has purpose. Intense write.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
