Thanx for the invite
Nice I must say

This is an older one but I haven't posted anything yet so here it goes.


Shimmering with unshed grief
The happiness taken by a deceitful thief

A forced smile makes its way upon my lips
But slowly, ever so slowly, my composure rips

Standing stiffly on my mountain of pain
I look at my battered soul and observe the stain

Softly my mind stops the violent black spread
My feelings are gone, numb, and dead.

I hope that one day they will return
My eyes close and feel the burn

Tears of fire, heart of stone
Within myself, I stand alone

Thank you for reading and your kind words,,
