**********************************************************************************************

Crystalline Misery

A tear from eyes of reachless depths

Full of love yet seeped with hate

Exists eternal, never erased.

Silent cries that will never be heard

Resound through the darkness

Like a lonely echo upon a cold mountain.

Dreaming of lovely things

Awaking to the monstrous earth

Hoping for something fabulous

Trapped behind stony bars of destiny

A shadow of what almost was

Wishes for what will never be.

Yet hope lives on

Hidden by sorrowful memories

Nearly drowned by the souls of the dead

Still shinning, though faintly.

Reaching for the stars,

Reaching for the sun

That hope is bound to the violent earth

By the chill of empty dreams.

Broken wings whisper of forgotten freedom.

Moments stretch into hours;

Life becomes forced and lonely.

Washed away by blood

Heaven is merely a shadow

Of what life is hoped to be.

Attempting to banish the thickening nightmare,

Flames light the way to destruction;

 Passion burns colder than a frozen wasteland.

Burn away the hatred

Scorch the haunting fear

And life will grow from the ashes.

Can anyone make it be?

Dreams exist eternal,

Captured by a tear,

Frozen in a drop of crystalline misery.
