Awakened by the faint melody of laughter,
faint and decresent the sound has become,
sleep stricken I stumble upon the ground,
Where is such happiness, that falls upon my ear?
I find myself upon a puddle of tears,
there not mine.... or are they?
As I sit in this contemplation,
I hear not laughter, only weeps,
One little shadow, I thought I knew,
I look beyond my perception,
and I see this Crimson reflection,
this one little shadow...I know now to be me,
shrouded in this darkness,
I wear this Crimson Crown.
Sadness leaks from the eyes I see,
once thought laughter, Never could be,
Eyes pitiless, cold and empty,
they stare into me,
Mirrors or windows?
My soul has been seen,
My small shadowed reflection,
has consumed such joy,
I sit here and weep, and hold myself,
Alone I've been, yet I've searched for a whole,
yet I've only gathered miniscule specks of this broken soul.
Oh, darling. Such a sweet, sad write. As always it was extremely beautiful.
