[tartrabbits]

pools of gold

still in my mind

still as glass

the shattering kind

ripples in the pool

deafen the silence that they bring

pierce the empty void

can't you hear the fear sing

everything is broken

as anxiety hits a chord

like the jitters from the spoken

or the never-said word

you can bind my arms

you can gag me tight

but you'll never silence my presence

or dim my blinding light

[tartrabbits]

sugared words

and bitter truths

tired eyes

bleed sandy tears

silt and grime

coat the surface

a nasty film

of my darkest years

[tartrabbits]

I am a book

Fill me with your words

Caress my pages with your well worn hands

[tartrabbits]

we intertwine

like the colors in the sun

mixing

molding

until we become one

[tartrabbits]

Nothing is wrong, life is beautiful.

I'm just filled with taint.

[tartrabbits]

Why does the sun shine

When shadows wait

Why does the snow fall

When it is doomed to fade

Why do we love again

When we are made to break

[tartrabbits]

Taint

The Sun pierces through the storm,

Like a needle pricks a vein;

It's like the skies were torn open with an old rusty blade.

They're raining down,

They're raining blood;

Staining my parade.

Now the air is hard to breathe,

Reeking of iron and the sea.

It approaches,

It encloses;

A scarlet mist creeping in leaving nowhere left to flee...

[tartrabbits]

Its like when an earthquake hits, and you're rocked to your core,

That you finally ask what you're fighting for.

We ebb

And

We flow.

We bloom

And

We fade.

While we're breaking our hearts, while we shatter and bruise,

You finally ask,

What's to lose?
