I am the diary of a lonely sinner-

Pages bleed with ink as black as my soul.

I am the tears shed by a broken priest-

Blemishing the psalms held so dearly.

I am the fear of loss in young love-

Unaware that time takes away.

I am the lies behind a perfect smile-

False feelings fill every innocent kiss.

I am the arms that cling to a fading life-

Holding onto memories shared in silence.

I am the burning sky in infant eyes-

Tucking you in under quilts of ash.

I am the last wish unto a starless night-

Falling into an empty grave through deaf ears.

I am the one stone in a world of glass-

Its beauty shatters beneath my touch...
