Tapestry

Complex as the universe this universal ache My thoughts, my life does it overtake. How deep the pain caused in troubled outside mind How lost… the love I cannot find. What longing and desire I have for love Yet anger - hatred like a falling dove Passion for both good and evil Does no good, sees no evil. The sun does rise therefore light can flee From its dark captivity that repeatedly traps me In this heavy heart that tortures my soul And never is content, never full. Why must I feel empty when I understand The trap of the heart hiding beneath the sand, The sand of lies, the sand of promises, The sand of betrayal through wrenching kisses… I walk alone… No one lover can ever comprehend The love I found, lost, and could not defend. I drown off the shore of the gleaming sand Catching glimpses… but not feeling the warmth in my hand. Does no good, sees no evil. - Love - a complete upheaval I walk alone, by choice, my own Love is a tapestry; sewn, torn, sewn… I walk alone… Sewn, torn, sewn...
