Of Sun And Rain Doth Life Give Way
Take the hand of one to toss them aside
Such callous emotions run rampant inside
Through a window we dare to break
Constant glass shatters to floors of hate
Great minds fogged by detest by pleasure
Soon to perish this timeless treasure
Romance rare in sharp decline
To greatness fall through blood and time
What so rare a flower upon to glance?
Such is life but rain to desert expanse
A reach so far yet so close to grasp
This once clear window now stained glass
Upon fiery floors a painful tread
Amidst skeletons of those long dead
Repeated rantings of a broken record
As voices anguished in shadows tethered
Dust in layers hiding stories past
Empty bottles of memories, some the last
Random thoughts, voices reason to no one
A world of it's own, existing within one
what manner of life is this to lead?
Of broken glass and wrists that do bleed?
Through white stasis, a suspense of life
Amidst red stains that become of strife
Take it to heart and learn from the day
Of sun and rain doth life giveth way
