Silk threads

Silk thread bloodied and ripped
To shreds
By the pain of your hurt
And the rage of your brokenness

Filigree shattered is no longer fit
For your own self-infliction
Has left your dress bitten

Why should you let someone in?
You’re sure all they’ll bring is more bleeding
How can you trust an old friend?
All that they’ve done is left dust for your eating

Fire leaves ashes
They sit cold abandoned
With no spark of hope
No request for compassion

Cold steel erases
The dreams you once held
For tomorrow’s bright waves
As your thoughts become welded

The waves have turned to gray
You sing with the same old refrain
Something is killing your soul
Fear has gripped it and won’t let go

Let it go
Ebony agony is not your destiny

Let it go
Freedom does not come free
