Breakdown

by Twisted Heart   Oct 8, 2008


Sit here among the thorns of change
No time inside the soul to cling
Upon the breast of midnights range
No solace to the heart it brings

Simple words of love are gone
No action found among the death
An anchor dipped now all alone
Within the soul no single breath

The night seems cold against the heart
The stars a vacant luster stare
Remnants of the pain impart
Upon the mind lost soul is bared.

Feeble thoughts break from the mist
Dark days of loss turn paper thin
A silent scream on hungry lips
Break from the mind of 'might have beens'

Where once a life was open wide
Within the heart and soul was found
A love that now in darkness hides
Consuming tears the only sound
