Sadness pours through the eyes
Staring in to the deep void
The moment shall not freezeth over
For comes the piercing light
What ought to heal the plight of all
Brings misery to the haunted soul
Knowing what’s to be known
Is respite not – for the tale is never told
A moment of hope as despair fades
Lasts not long enough to force a smile
For what the world sees true
Is a facade to all that’s vile
The mind pierces through like a sword
Relentless in its evisceration of reality
And the heart throbs beyond normality
For the hurt just grows in the throes
