So weary and forsaken <br />How I weep for you. <br />Wishing, to embrace you forever <br />And hold your burdened load. <br />To see you so puzzled <br />A mask that haunts your face <br />Only smiles do I recall, <br />You already began to fall. <br />A shredder ate my heart that day <br />Mercy closed its eyes. <br />I could not grasp your hands <br />For you would not know at all. <br />Those eyes had lost their youth that day, <br />No light from the unforgiving decay. <br />The Bible sits on the shelf <br />How do I forgive him now? <br />Tears of fears cloud their faces <br />She will be okay, they say <br />But I do not believe them.<br /><br />Pensive Phoenix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/disguised-3/
