Destruction

Come now again have you

To weave yet another tapestry

A memorial, a testament to my beloved heart

The heart you destroyed with poetic justice

Gave me the belief of comfort and endearment

Allowed me to luxuriate in paradise’s arms

Stole all my sorrows, absorbed all my fears

Then when the sun was warm

And the breezes and ocean mist kissed my skin

You took the love and the dreams away

Left me crying with intense pain in the night

Forgiveness is a foreign concept

Or at least it once was

But acceptance granted me peace of mind

Left me standing when the pain would have dragged me down

Paradise you showed me is a deceptive lie

A fable, a dream, a desire of what we wish it to be

It exists not in this harsh life we call reality

A barren mind, dragging forth the heartfelt sorrows

Forever retracing the mistakes that lay behind

My heart is barren, just another vital *****

No emotion can touch it, no hate can break it

This is the legacy in which you have left me

But my dearest friends the deeds are done

And now the dreams have fled

So shall the fires that lived inside my soul
