Hope

My snakeskin eyes are full of haze The dams that held strong, the tears give way My heart is heavy, but with nothing inside Kneeling down in the ashes, I cried The malicious wrath blazed through my house Panic set in and alarms rang out As unforgiving as a tyrannous queen Rips through my life and brakes the seams They fall away singed and frayed Watching the embers dance mockingly, my eyes fill with rage My heart drops like a stone in the lake Coming to the sick knowing I really am awake The fire has taken everything away as it burnt Finally wiping my eyes I come to accept it Through the white some and tears in my eyes I still found a reason and a purpose to smile
