Blackened Date: Tuesday, 1st June 2004 @ 07:28:48 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: Avarice_Riot Your eyes are those of a broken man Bent and blackened by the ages Try to be strong but you're really just hiding a tremble Somewhere along the road you lost your way and it shows Your ashes claw at my eyes but the blood is brewing my spirit I bear witness, scrawl my name in your veins I've never seen anything more precious A lost breath of art drifting through the ruins Take you out of obseleteness and dress you in gold Be the reviviscent spoon of air for your soul I'd drink in your tears if it could lessen your sorrow in a world that revels in falling apart I'll haul in what I can from the worthy Hope it'll still be there in the morning to greet eyes that are broken no more.
