Why would you, unless.....?

I know that's what you'll do, stab me where it will hurt,

no grief in your eyes, as you see the blood spurt.

You know how I am, I'll bleed to death in your quest,

But it's a game you must win, you will ace this dirty conquest.

So you'll still do everything you can, to break me,

To see me begging for mercy, begging to be free.

Free from the pain you give me, free from this heartache,

There's just so much it can bleed, just so much it can take.

It's broken in an instant, with you having walked all over,

Bitter with pain, pangs noone can ever discover.

Drowned within it's own depth, it's scared to look up,

Broken by a joke for fun, a really unfair setup.

Vowing it will get better, without you by my side,

A day will come reckoning, it will get calmer, the tide.

You'll cry someday too, in agony and despair,

Wishing you hadn't trampled wild, realising what's fair.

I won't be around to see it, nor care enough to console,

You nearly killed my heart, its peace as you then stole.

I hope not to get more bitter, more torn into pieces with this pain,

Till someday you wish it were just a bad dream, try to turn it all back...In vain!

Lost in the Deluge

Loud claps of thunder, a dark red sky,

I wake up from my trance, as lightning flashes me by,

Large drops of rain, fighting for space,

Disturbing my thoughts, cutting them loose from the chase.

The soft whispering wind, grows heavier and louder,

My wavering thoughts are now crushed to a powder.

Perched against the downpour, with arms wide open,

I try to grab my mind, but my heart it’s stolen.

Carrying love from far away, a lonely distant voice,

Touches my lonely soul, while drowning all the noise.

A heart that feels my pangs, asking me to feel its pain,

It’s as broken as I am, tears running in each vein.

Refusing to succumb to the deluge, my eyes are shut tight,

I feel nothing but numb pain, the dark eclipses all light.

Shattered into pieces, a heartache we share,

Soft as fur inside, an iron mask on the outside we wear.

The rain that breaks our peace brings us together tonight,

We carelessly succumb to the call, giving in without a fight.

Hearts that cry alone, but smile as one in the rain,

Our incompleteness begins to fill, the sorrow too will wane.

I breathe softly but surely as I mock the thunderous sound,

I’ve lost my heart to this voice, but a new strength I have found.

The night cries itself to sleep, as the rain gives in,

Densely dark around, with a single flame burning within.
