...Tidal Recollections

In the blink of a tired eye I told you why
Creases of courage across this ivory sky
Painted with the blood of tears long ago--dried
Moments in which a lifetime churned
Set my resolve aflame – I burn
Can you feel the darkness even under this blazing noon?
Look to my eyes and see
Purpose once lost, now burning free
For too long I lost me
A whisper of a word long forgotten
Pills eating my soul until it was rotten
Buried in desperation to escape my pain
One grain I still held of you
Fell out of my pocket today to remind me in deafening reflection
Imperceptible sound as she fell to my feet - Clarity of perception
My feelings a tidal wave I refuse to contain
I feel her upon my lips now, a fierce rain
Immaculate desire
Do you feel the rage I radiate as I set this rain on fire?
Knowing her thoughts were stolen long before her time
I feel the wrath flow as I scream her name
Tormentors be warned of my callous bane
Feel the emptiness as I eviscerate your soul
Leave you empty as you did to me so long
…ago
