Soul That Died

Seeds of dreadful aching pain
clasp their roots round mine heart,
deeply biting, tighter, tighter,
shamelessly squeezing,
sqeezing the life right out of me.
Sinister tendrils weaving, winding,
agonizied cries squeeze past clenched lips,
never, never - can't stop the tears,
oh god, oh god - oh god! Oh God!

Seeds of dreadful aching pain
crush my chest, tear at my soul
ripping to shreds the essence of me.
Fading light as she moved away,
tear blurred eyes no longer see,
all light turned dark, all day turned night,
cold, dark, silent heart, constricted
by seeds of dreadful aching pain,
soul that died with the loss of her.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh James, this is so very sadly touching, sweet friend, I think we can all relate to this right now as we mourn over Larry's loss and send our love and sympathies his way! (big hugggssssss) My heart goes out to you, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I'm so sorry, I hope this wasn't personal, it is entirely full of woe.
