Death Within


Death within a heart, seen within the eyes
Broken, weakened, shattered is thee
Through the pain, looking up to the dark skies
The flame , once lit your way, you cannot see

A cold, deadly scream broke through the night air
A broken soul may not endure the pain
When all you need is for someone to care
It feels like death, but walking you remain

It is seething, rippling within oneself
The pain that is causing your light to fade
An old rag doll, placed upon a shelf
Heart has turned into a stone of jade

Walking in silence, just needing to scream
Wishing it was all nothing but a dream
