Heaven & Hell...

Love

Born not of Heaven

But of Hell

For surely

Only the Devil himself

Could so cruelly appoint

That which would tear us apart

Where monsters fail

Death-day...

Tick-Tock

Tick-Tock

Onward goes

Our Death-day clock

Another's Shoes...

A day spent

In another's shoes

May expose a weary trail

Spend but a moment

In their head

To truly witness pain.

Blighted...

As for the children

There was a deadness

In their eyes

And a darkness

In their souls

For they 

Had been burdened

With the sins of 

Their forefathers

And would be

Forever blighted.

Fragile Heart...

A heart so fragile

Made of glass

Holding teardrops

From the past
