eyes tainted
have met the world and live only to see heaven
because like a record the memories have rested
only to be played again
what was once pure as a pearl
shattered like fallen glass
running to pass but can’t escape the past
showering in blues trying to wash away the pain
sorrow entertains the ache of a broken heart
they drop like a single
THUMP
…of a beaten drum and dance to it’s misery
the only sound in silence, the only shift in stillness
tick tick tick
the blues swelter inside
the worst cry burns sapphire tears
