Crying

[GypsyPriestess]

Candlelight and darkness

are the measure of my life

and so they offer no comfort

as I cry into the night.

The bitterness within me

burns an acid hole

and I, falling in,

find myself alone.

Fear is my watchdog

guardian of my pain,

I gather it as a cloak around me

and face the emptiness.

My heart knows so little

and yet, too much it seems.

I'm balanced on a precipice

just this side of sane.

The words in my mind are frozen

as my tongue spews forth it's hate.

For a moment I wonder why,

then it is over, and I know why.

Fear is a powerful guardian,

though few ever see its face.

It comes at you as anger,

and drives you away in pain.

Now I am its prisoner,

staring into the night

alone in the darkness,

crying by candlelight.

Your rhymes added wave after wave
of sadness and confusion... you really
did a great job lighting up the outlines
of many a shadow with your candles glow.

I love candles too.
Blessed Be.

Hope you tears of fear turn
to tears of joy,
when your work is done.

[Scarlit Rose Flowz]

and face the emptiness.

My heart knows so little

and yet, too much it seems.


I liked those lines alot, really hits home for me...
