...and it was beautiful.

By torn_beauty

The ground was covered in ice,
a perilous sea lay before me.
Almost like lifes indiscrepencies,
lying here and there, all before me.

Sorrow has a small place in my heart,
like a tiny stain that will never go away.
should it spread I would be greatful,
it would make not such a scene.
Just like me, so small,
in this ocean of uncertainty.
Like a beautiful blanket of heart break
ruined by my presence.

The dawn came today and it was beautiful.
I didn't see it, I just knew.
I was blinded by my sheets,
my empty hurt kept me tangled somehow.

As I walked forward I slipped,
not falling in or out.
Wish I could see why I just glided across,
across that plane.
As if I was a crazy dancer,
I moved across on a grace that was not my own.
Silence was my partner,
and it was beautiful.

I really liked the analogy of the ice being a perilous sea, never quite thought of it like that, i also liked the Silence was my partner, it really portrays a sense of loneliness

A former member wrote: as for your title dilema, I suggest taking your favorite line from the piece and shortening it into a title...such as..."Empty Hurts and Tangled Limbs" or something to that effect.

Excellent work. My ego would love to absolve your dilema. Unfortunately, I can not find a common theme to bind it all. So, you, being the writer and the holder of its meaning, must name it. Beautiful.
