witness.

[jessy_or_zobar]

raven wings flutter, penetrate the ears, pierce the beating heart.
sounds reverberate with mourning and sadness and tears.
hope forlorn brings fears for the futile.
what is wanting in knowing
wants nothing but to be unknown.
what once was is forever lost at sea,
forever cast to the skies.
flown away
is the soul of yesterday.
empty and unsteady
is this vessel of clouded glass.
fragile innocence
shattered by a vile crimson pool.
a drop of salted rain offers pain to pale lips.
an eye that has seen too much is rewarded with
the
falling
of
the
heavens.
