black velvet tears roll like rivers
crash like the ocean on the jagged shore
drip like broken drops of rain
broken drops of pain
released from the depths of my heart
like blood from an open wound
gushing and congealing a crimson release
these thoughts fade the flowing will not cease
like the freedom of a caged bird
my heart knows not the open air
my deepest emotions locked safely away
from piercing judgement hidden they will stay
no race has been run
no war has been fought
the ultimate defense is the ultimate charade
with nobody to see truth in my empty parade
a beautiful breakdown awaits
yet i cling to my hidden dreams
should i surrender to my desires like the moon to the night sky
instead i give in and continue this lie
like a stranger to my own reflection
what i see does not match how i feel
inside i feel withered and dry
a yellowed leaf falling to die
then crumbled beneath your feet
i become a part of the earth
my confusion encompasses the soil now
all alone i wait wondering how
with the releases of despair encircled in tears
i take a breath
and
move
forward
