Glimpses of chaos

By Sapphire

Tick tock
The mind hums with the clock
Faking patience when irritation climbs up
The white veil whoosh with the swift wind
Showing glimpses of the broken pieces

The mask feels hot to the face
Melting with the little resolution of civility
The lights dimming with the growing annoyance
The dark creeps in through the cracks

You know, the veil couldn't cover up
Piles of hurt and pain
Sucked up warmth and trust
Snares of promised torture

Music from the lamentation of a pained soul
Drinking the tears of undried eyes
Entertained by the dances of an imprisoned heart
Screaming out to hearts swelling with mock amusement

Drop by drop
Bleeding for the world that sees not of you
Cracking your skin
Dwelling on settling in
But where do you situate
When the heart you need
Isn't yours to keep?

You just want to scream the truth for all to hear, but that only accomplishes so much. That being said, you did a beautiful job, darlin'. Rebs:).

    As much you could scream, it's like the cries fall on deaf ears. People choose to ignore that to get closer . Thank you love for your support
