The Once Mighty Heart
My feet planted firmly in a plot of land
My toes the roots that spread like black and green vines
Embeddeding themselves into the very heart of the world
Pulising through my veins, filling my lungs with fresh air
My stedfast limbs are firm trunks
While I spread out my fingers to stroke the sea of starts
I bask in the sun shine by day and rest under the song of moonlight
I do not bend under push of wind or rumble of the earth's quake
But the soil bleeds and blackens over, cripples my roots
The axes come to tear down my solitude, my fortress of gold
Crimson and violet flames corrod my armor and melt it to pools of tears
Spilled over diamonds, splattering the stony walls with pieces of my once mighty heart
Only to be beautified by a tragic fall
Simplified to a trip, a stumble, a fall
Detached of empathy, no compassion in their glassy irises
Staring dreamily at the invisible rainbows and hues of lies
Stepping over a carred earth and weak flames of rage
Wandering forward through a narrow tunnel
Only to step over the edge
