6

Heart filled with sorrowful eyes,
Shut to innocence,
And bound to tormented souls;
Life beginning and ending all in one night.
Cast away emotions,
Let pain out
Where tears and silence are
For those who know.
Hearts begin to open
And the gates slam shut;
Inbounding joy.
Time flies and halts all in one setting,
Leveling out happiness to a shallow watering hole,
Where do we lie when the emptiness in my heart
Races to the gates and then is halted
At the starting point.
Where do feelings take us in this ambivalent state?
Tears fall to the debts;
To heaven or to hell lost for all time.
Wasted years, wasted minds, and wasted memories.
Life longing for self pity
And endless days pondering this so call Love
That bewitches our hearts and souls.
