Breath of A Shattered Soul

Surrounded by sweet sounding deception
Lies caught in worded session
Hatred, anger, hurt and disgust
Admissions of misguided trust

Stabbing pains, bewildered heart
Closure needed for a new start

Sneaking suspicions open old wounds
Characters cheated of honesty too soon
Sorry's galore can never replace
Dreams thwarted in one embrace

Alas, these feelings must be heard
No heated moments in absurd word

Grieve the loss but remember the journey
Mercy is needed on this cursed memory

Forgiveness the breath of a shattered soul
Remembering, awakening to feel whole

I Saw

I saw the sky
Clear and blue
I saw the sun
Shinning down
I saw a bird
Flying up high
I saw a waterfall
Down a mountain
I saw a river
Running through the woods
I saw the sea
Crashing on the rocks
I saw a teardrop
Fall on a petal
I saw a forest
Burn to the ground
I saw stars gleaming
In the shadows of night
I saw sunsets
Across the open sky
I saw the wind
Blowing through the trees
I saw pain
In his eyes
I saw you standing
Alone in the shadows
I saw a chance
Did not take it
I saw you there
With another
I saw my heart
Break in two
I saw tears
Running down
I saw nothing else
But you
