Description Heartbeat pounding in my ears
surely they can hear my pain
All the lies have now revealed
the one who's snatched my dreams away.

Great ambitions filled my head
dancing as they call to me.
But now my dream is left for dead
as teardrops form a crystal sea.

Slow my breathing, try to see
from eyes that's been sealed for so long.
Cover ears that tend to lean
toward the deadly siren's song.

Flesh so scorched from searing words
that cracks appear around my heart.
An outward show of inward hurt
A soul that's ripped and torn apart.

Silence now surrounds my breathing
teardrops falling far below
sounds like thunderclaps receding
down my cheeks it starts to flow.

Rivers etching in my flesh
a story born in dust and pain.
I raise my head and tear my chest
wanting to turn home again.

Silence now demands attention
I look with eyes of hurt and fear
and see the nail scars in the hands
that catch my sacraficial tears...

they may be few and far between but they are quality, which is less than you can say for some around here... this one is excellent as well, the rhyme carried all the way through flows naturally and the awfully painful descriptions make my skin crawl... i like it

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds and open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin.
