Song's Death

by Beloved Harmony

I walk and fall the distance down

through deepest pain, to darkest night.

The tears of heartbreak pouring clear

my wounded soul takes heedless flight.

Do you know what heartbreak is?

Rejection, carelessly dismissed.

A night's long labour, coldly shunned

Thoughtlessly turned to a mist.

Without import, an exile drear,

banished from man's ken for aye

now unwanted, sent from sight

to languish unsung, packed away.

The thing I have created here

I nurtured with my very soul.

Now scorned and hurt it limps away

it's once bright light a dying coal.

I scatter ashes of my Song

and bitter are the tears I shed.

The gift I sought to share with all

lies faded

dingy

dusty

dead.
