Dawn & Dusk

Ice cold blade
In the centre of my heart
A savage stabbing
Ripping me apart

Out spills pain
Thick and black
Hissing like snakes
As it oozes out of the cracks

That stagnant inner mass
Has been congealing inside
Poisoning my soul
Causing me to die

The whites of my eyes turn black
My skin moulds over my bones
My tongue turns to ash
As I continue to scream and groan

But then a light shines
Piercing through my gloom
From the roots of this bitterness
Beautiful flowers bloom

His tender love can finally
Enter my cracked heart
Sealing the ragged edges
To form a hybrid piece of art

The dark pain and misery
Form patterns in the light
And my tears of sorrow
Bring dormant dreams to life

In the collapse of my dreams
And the crushing of my emotions
Your love planted new seeds
And reset my foundations
