Lost with in this fragile simplicity 
Eyes full of innocence and hope 
Feeling the need to take them 
One simple word brought the world crashing down 
Blind youth could not see this happening 
Eyes distorting every picture 
Showing fields of flowers instead of black wasteland 
Cooling thirst with cups of Ash 
Suddenly lies reviled 
Run quicker now try to catch that dream 
The poison touch of love over powering the dawn
Slowly pick up the pieces 
Each one cutting hands as a reminder of the pain 
All around are the burning Embers 
Hopes that cannot be rebuilt 
Praying for the rain 
To chase away these dismal clouds letting in the sun 
Each night brings the sounds of mistakes 
Weighting down this sorrowed heart 
Voice resonating  with sorrow 
Time for parting goodbye's has passed 
Wind howling through the stone tormenting the
Ear pressed to the earth 
Is that you scratching at the lid?
