To be silent is a gift
To be whole is a present
To be loved is happiness
To be happy is to be fulfilled

None reach my soul
Not like theirs
Destruction and misery a label
Desolation a crib
Sorrow a comfort
Solitude a blanket

A heart of ice
Cold and brittle
Worn by time
Broken by people

A single lament of pain
An angry glare
A goth outfit
A lackluster attitude
Whatever keeps the pain away

A lament in misery
A story of pain
A book of sorrow
A cold forgotten corpse

This lament is my knowledge
From one to another human
I have tasted sorrow
i have been beaten into a hospital
I have lost everything
I have survived
This lament is cold water
This lament is my message
This is my gift a lament of understanding and help
This is a hand to those in pain
This is my lament to help others
My one cold lament.
