Heard The Early Beginnings - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

beside every torn hope
a dark angel lies
beside every tainted heart
the dark angel cries

the heart still pumps
a blackened blood
the brain still works
a pain filled flood

the great appearance
of deliverance
into the deep dark
intolerance

the more i try to purge
the more i feel the urge
the more i try to leave
the more i can't retrieve

below early teary hands
the messy sheets are cold
beneath every tiny hair
the night's sins are told

can't shake the memories
that send me back for more
can't stop the tragedy
these ventures have in store
