WHAT AM I ?

I fall different than rain

I am the salty wounds

That soak the injured body

Droplets of condensation

Only stick to window panes

These are the panes of the Soul

Windows for blinded eyes

Remainders of a fragile mind

Breaking with grief on the inside



I am the Death of promises

I am the loss of youth

I am the breath of Destiny

I am the stench of Truth



And if Love is not to blame

Then what is?

And if Winter does not kill me

Then what will?

And if I have gone to ground

Where's the shock?



The clock ticks night and day

I can not stay in sync

The Heart Watch falls and breaks



And I can not leave the Dream

In a tidal wave of rejection

It carries a constant Dejection



The weeping tree is hollow

A mouth opens to swallow

The lesson here on earth

Rips loose the face of worth



I breathe the spoiled air

Lungs fill up with rust

Whip up the winds of acid rain

Tears fall with the Dust



Divide the traits of fickle genes

Invade the cells and proteins

Strangle the lot of chromosomes

Disease Ends Life lines on a string



Time sleeps through a Nightmare

Follows Eternal fright

Step through tomorrow unaware

Wake up and switch on the light
