Amethyst Tears, a cry heard too late

[onyxfiretear]

Feeling alone and worthless
I slowly walk from room to room
Looking for some sign of life
Someone I may speak to

My heart slowly breaking
Piece by piece
Like glass shattered dreams
Silently they fall to the floor

So many are here
I try to speak
No sound comes from my mouth
I am mute

So many are here
I try to touch them
Yet they are unmoved
I am invisible

I watch as they talk with each other
Were lavished in each others company
Everything I long for they take for granted
Am I in a cruel and unwavering vortex?

I cover my eyes as I begin to softly weep
I walk from room to room again
Leaving a trail of amethyst jewels
From where my tears have fallen

Not knowing what else to do
I take a razor sharp dagger from the wall
Going to the room of shadows
I sit in a corner

Wrapping my old tattered wings around me
I continued to weep
My hair drifts down upon my face
Masking my pain

Taking the dagger firmly in hand
Not hesitating one moment
I slice my milk white skin
Letting the crimson flow

Such a blood-curdling scream
Does my body now release
That all in the noise in the other room stops
All except for a shattering glass upon the floor

A puddle of garnet warmth
Glides from underneath my wings
One walks into my room of shadows
Oh now they hear me

Now they see
Their little girl now gone
In a place where I can be free
Funny how it takes the end for them to awake to the beginning

[onyxfiretear]

you are about the only person that reads my work and commments. I want to tell you how much that means to me...


Strange Clouds billow from the distance
Slowly creating the form of an angel
This angel of warmth and understanding
Serenity and peace

Her gracious heart is full of love
Her glorious spirit always there to support
Thank you my angl Strange Clouds
You are a blssing from above
