melody of life and love
by sarah wisniewski
The winter is here again
As the life dies from the valley
Shadows mourn for the long lost earth
Never to be seen again
Constant sorrow
Rests with me
Whisper your thoughts
into my bleeding ears
as sunrise forms
a new day begins
and blurs along with the other
crying eyes
and empty voices
screaming out silent cries
into the cold, dark night
as I brush the dirt of my knees to rise
only to find that there is no more to it
this is all there will ever be with eyes as dim as these
casting shadows on my walls
I crumble slowly
As widows of lost souls look eagerly on
Towards the blackened skies of my cavern
It grows darker ever more
The world I lost years ago
Is kept safe a mind so lost and frail
The hand of misery falls short
In this game we call life
As a realm of reality washes over
The quiet village of your mind
You become numb and blind to pain
