[bodytext] => Soft-spoken rain clouds are haunting, Humming sorrowed lullabies, Draining acid rain From fabled silver linings. The drops fall on skin like bullets, Burning tiny holes, Like the prick of a tainted pin, Blinding, Eroding eyes, Shining below creased lids. Devouring stormy irises, Obliterating embittered pupils. Fading into nothingness. A lonesome land, Glistening beneath gemstone dewdrops. Echoing with the sound of receding footsteps, And nursery tale rhymes, Sung on high, Reverberating through the hymns of the innocent, As they burn… Burn… Melting skin from yellowed bones. And yet they sing, Solemn and pure, Rejoicing. As the clouds, Haunting and soft-spoken, They hum along, In a sorrowed lullaby.
