through the pale
Let this wretched pen weepall the tears these eyes won't shed
keep guard around this broken heart
while salty ink pool spreads
as tragic days find their pace
and set their bitter course
keep guard around this shattered heart
while pen screams for remorse
white pages once so innocent
lose their youth to crimson surge
keep guard around this angry heart
while wicked pen does purge
let solitude wrap the world
in smothering gray veils
keep guard around this lonely heart
let brave pen slash through the pale
look down upon this page of pain
and try to understand
guards fell around this blackened heart
which then put pen in hand
no matter that the tears won't fall
from lying, laughing eyes
the heart holds the hand that holds the pen
and the pen does not tell lies
