Grief Stricken Hearts
The pain of death equals not
The suffering of a grief stricken heart
Bereft of breath and lost in the dark
A lasting pain that left a stain
Upon my soul, labored and eternal
Pushing the limits against the grain
The curse of a condemned immortal
My cursed self trapped in this Hell
I am imprisoned beyond the portal
With the creatures inside the pale
Judged guilty from choices thought immoral
I have sacrificed
...for you
And I have suffered
...to give you peace
Still I have longed for one more song
Just one angelic whisper in the dark
From city states to where nomads roam
But still skeletons, tattered and stark
Wickedly grin, laughing with sin
They are reveling with the devil’s mark
Brewing corruption in weak men
Circling and biting like a school of sharks
I have witnessed
...your grief
And you have suffered
...without peace
Our history is woven
In a sea of tears
The tragedy plays out
In memories of love
Tainted by fear
Our history was woven
Such a heavy cost
The misery returns
When memories fade and
It all seems lost
Throughout eternity
We remain separate
Like ghosts in the trees
In sheets like rain that pours
Spirits remain awake
At the edge of the world
Will the stars burn brighter
There at the peak when all seems bleak
At last when no longer severed
Will we finally be together?
Put on display up on the stage
Now draw the curtains and turn up the lights
Behold and witness the pain and rage
See the difference of day and night
Boo the monster inside the cage
While he’s lost in the doubt of his own plight
Who here exactly is the phage
When those beyond keep the dark from the light?
Our history is woven
In a sea of tears
The tragedy plays out
In memories of love
Tainted by fear
Our history was woven
Such a heavy cost
The misery returns
When memories fade and
It all seems lost
The pain of death equals not
The suffering of a grief stricken heart
Bereft of breath and lost in the dark
We have sacrificed
...for you
And we have suffered
...to give you peace

HadesRising,
This a great poem! Very complex with different levels of feeling and emotions. Very elegantly put together. I flows nicely like good red wine and complex dramatic doom metal song. Great stuff.
