I See Things...

I see things..

Far from beauty

But instead, souls.

Souls that remain with darkened faces,

And ragged shattered cloth.

Just like their hearts,

And their eyes?

I can’t bare them,

I can’t see them

Not because they’re not there.

But because I'm not there.

-

Shifting through the corners,

Standing behind my back,

Why are they watching?

Why are they listening?

I know they’re not there.

But they are there.

-

Curse these wooden floors,

Curse these twisted minds

Curse these broken bones

Curse these stricken eyes

But one thing that I shall not curse

Is their hopeless hearts,

For they have no heart.
