Thoughts

Broken hearts, promises astray
Garnered words, gathering dust
Weary souls, hoping for love
Yet innocent hearts start to rust

Wishes lost
Dreams untold
Starting to wonder
When did I become so cold

Hurtful words, holding me
Lasting memories, start to fade
Garish thoughts, fill my mind
Keeping me where I laid

Likenesses fill the room
Chandeliers brighten it
Where are you tonight
The candles must stay lit

Fairly mad
I must seem
Sitting here
‘Tis no dream

Love has been lost
And will not be found
For it is buried beneath
More than the ground

Hearts are hurt
Every day
Yet the scars never
Fade away

Tears are merely an illusion
For those who do not worry
For those up in their fine houses
Who have never been at the hands of a jury

For those who hide
For those who lie
For those who cringe
Yet do not cry

Tears are filled with misery
Bitterness and shame
Nasty words made to bring them forth
Made to wound and to maim
