TORN

Sweet face of sadness
Is not seen by all.
Heart – wrenching pain
Is not felt by all.

I have felt both
Seen living death
And yet my eyes strive to hide the pain
From this world.

……………………………………

I too laugh and sing
Cries are to me.
I too sigh and drink
Loving to just sink.

All my pains aloft
Searching others’ eyes
For a hint of sadness like mine
Which an else might too defy.

…………………………………

All alone bleeding heart
Is worse than death.
Lift me off, take me away
Hell is sweeter I say.

Torn away from the heart
Is a piece beautiful.
Light gone… faded way
Darkness seems good.

I want to drown in the silence
Don’t touch my heart
It’s all melted there
Right from the start.

Left alone, I cry
Though tears are dry.
Lost is true
But found too.

Legacy of pain so brutal so hard
Take me away.
Torn apart
Torn apart
I drown hard.

……………………………………

Gone from my eyes
Is the glimpse of life
Shrunken hollow death
Of the painter’s knife,
A picture of sad eyes
A picture of sad eyes………………………….though dead.

………………………………………

I live, laugh and drink
Joke and hide the pain
A wonderful world it is
My dead eyes register
So true?

A picture etched across my heart
I devour.
A pained bleeding eye
So normal………………..

I try
To search and find
Legacy elsewhere
No need to try……….
I can’t see
The paining eyes have torn apart
Only remains………..
A painting knife
And a picture of sad eyes

Etched so hard that I am TORN APART.
