and when you know youve walked astray
where did you get your nack
for spotting shades of gray

When you feel the chill of the darkest wind
and your only light, spent in slight
is gone and so are you
any direction you see

Pupils have a strange way
of dialating when you say
you hate yourself
The empty whispers of a dead man

Your tears hold as much weight
as the beholder sees
but what if the only one who sees them
is you

When does the day dawn
on empty souls
who beckon tears to wet the ground
who draw blood to pass the time

Where do you go when the night passes
and the cuts so deep appear to your eyes
where did you get your nack
for spotting senseless lies

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
