Distructive Dispair

By veingo

To see her eyes fill with tears,

was like watching my most cherished

of possessions,

sinking into the swell of a flood.

So tragic, so terribly,

beautiful.


Here tears were like,

falling, crystalline, razors.

I couldn't catch them all.


They tore me apart.

    This right here...this is simplistic beauty at its finest.

  • A former member wrote: Oh my...this is so heartbreaking...if only I could take a squeegie (sp?) and wipe away her tears for you...then I would not have to witness your heart tearing itself to pieces as mine so often does. Beautiful write...*Evangel*
