Tragedy/At Night

by Fixxxer   Sep 24, 2007


Tragedy..

The pre-emptive striker.
Glimmering in tear drops
like a sad faded fire.
Sickening..
It rots us inside out,
enshrouds our glowing eyes,
and fills our hearts with doubt.
Following..
Unnoticed in the dark.
Slipping through the shadows
and breaking us apart.
Beguiling..
It mystifies the mind.
Cruel manifestations,
its tools to make us blind.

We only see strange shapes in the dark.
Twisted images we take to heart.
If we could only find some light.
We'd see the truth's more clear at night.

    Words espressed, emotions, thoughts, it's all there described so well.
    It's just exactly how I see the meaning of Tragedy.
