The Pain of Joy

by Beautiful Chaos   Nov 5, 2010


Oh the joyous moments
Nothing more exalted
Until they're over
Forgotten in the pain
Moments, once warm
Now blistering in the sun

Sweetness of a lover's lips
Soaking through skin like poison
Breath of empty promises
Filling lungs with contempt
But the heart
Still screams with lust

A want of recollection
What was
What has become
Tearing your psyche apart
Those joyous moments
Your tragic vulnerability

Forgotten dreams
Slowly resurrecting
Pulling you back
One final kiss
A thousand oceans deep
Before our death is accepted
