Corruption

by Samantha lynn   Jan 21, 2005



I see your black heart
corrupted
turned from
Abundant peace
you had
But now is burned.

By the sun
By the moon
By the stars
That fell fast
Over turning
This world of ours.

Empty smiles,
brought down by
wasted dreams
spread across this
Artic desert of
Cold and void memories,

Are what replace
Your sweet laughter
And radiant love
That threatened
The heavens above
In their infinite dance.

Your undeserved kindness
overstayed here,
And slowly melted.
Only to be conformed
To an iron lock
without a key,
No way of escape
This suffocating world.

Your lips move
but like the mute prophets
your actions
speak louder
than any word
You cared to acknowledge,
Any word
you did cared to utter.

Once upon a time you were
the beautiful paradise,
Once you were
The center of my light.
Peace flowing,
In a world of bright colors
Swirling through this
Sweet soaring Mid-Summer night.

But the rage
and bittersweet feelings
left you hallowed.
Lusting for a new Utopia,
and a faith,
that would never shatter.
Laugh now at your failures my dark love
and remember:

you were warned
against entering
this damned
Twisted
Tourniquet
World that is called mine.

Absent of color
and forgotten to society
Opened only for the
Elite, broken down soul
who dared enter
to be seen by the shades of deep gray;
and you dear
became visible.
