Heaven's Gates

A picture is worth a thousand words the saying says

But for me it holds a thousand feelings instead

A visual manifestation of emotions it portrays

Not the words that could have been said

As I look at this old picture of you and me

It is like stepping into a time machine

It is your fake smile that I can see

Because now I know your laughter was a smokescreen

I was not aware that you started to change

That you were becoming someone who I did not know

Everything between us started to feel strange

And further apart we began to grow

Darkness surrounded you and became your home

And it was life you wanted to quit

You were trapped within your own dome

And I could not find the key that would fit

Life felt like a prison according to you

And in my mind everything fell into place

Suddenly I achieved a breakthrough

When the picture showed your angelic face

Angels are trapped by heaven's gate

So I understand only hell could set you free

But I cannot help to feel this hate

Because the one you left behind was me

[Matthew Kult]

rhythmically weeping, tears of what could had been that never were to be. wonderfully composed.

Great read
