GRASS STAINS AND ALL
By: D Wall
06.03.04
Melancholy whispers rustled in the trees
They had listened to the tears that fell
Unbound and unfettered from the very heart of me
The crystalline drops echoeing like a bell

For the very core of myself had been ripped open
Like a ripe melon left in the sun for too long
For my heart had been unconscionably broken
And left to beat it's battered and bruised song

I wept like the tomorrows had stopped coming
And the sun would no longer rise
For my future had dissipated mist-like
Hope had left in my pure love's demise

Naked emotion, emancipated and left putrid
Bubbling and seething on the grass beneath my feet
Slowing sinking, on knees unable to hold me tall
Lamentation turns to anger, and then regret

For that which made me weak and come to this
Crushed and defenceless beneath his emotional rampage
Powerless to halt the destruction of all that made me
And incarcerated me in this miserable cage

Strength comes from the trials that test you
And even the angels will one day fall
I will stand proud and magnificent, stalwart with a smile
And re-enter the world, grass stains and all.
