Sometimes in the thick of the blood
The shadows are long and sorrowful
The sun weeps and leaves scarlet tears against the sky
The pain
Deep and stabbing
Heart wrenching and leaving me to my scarred knees
Screaming with my arms spread wide to the sky
Begging the knife to shatter my soul
Leave the pieces where the gods can not even find them
Let the sky swallow my being
Let my mind run away from itself and find sweet insanity
To die and forget forever
Those hands
Firm and so beautiful to my touch
Keeping my feet from the thorns
That seek to poison my spirit
And rape my heart to shattered pieces
They push against my breast
Screaming in the darkness so desperate to breathe
Forcing my lungs to burn with reality
That swells though my blood
Till my veins beg to burst
Into Dreams sweeter then the beautiful midnight they haunt
And I float on moonlight cold and silver
Till sweet perfect forget takes me and I am free
And I can breathe
The air crisp and bone chilling
Breaking the spell of rage she placed on me
And I am at peace.
If only until the shadows come to reclaim me
I am free.
And yet words on paper
Can't begin to scream loud enough
Cry hard enough
To shatter the frozen chains about me.
But for a moment there is a peace
And how warm my tears pour out of me
The release of the sorrow to power to control
My arms spread wide to the sky
Begging the hands that hold me
To keep the tears from freezing
Keep my heart screaming
Praying desperately for my voice to carry
To those who have the soul to listen
To share my release to feel what it is to be so very Loved.
Perfectly balanced and accepting
Of the warmth set that free within me
Confused at this light spread gently across my raised hands
Afraid of the brilliant blue of eyes deeper then mine
But I won't turn my back this time
So sweetly, blessedly free.
Arms spread wide
Begging the sky to swallow my pride
Humble my spirit to my knees
Free to breathe.
Just breathe.
The air cold and shattering
With him I'll never fear it again.
