<br />
fail the sun to shine as there is no more beauty<br />
left to alighten.<br />
what once flourished has weathered away<br />
and what will not weather<br />
i cannot stomach.<br />
oh, the cruelty of a persistent scar.<br />
<br />
i can keep my lips from trembling<br />
while i sever, with regretful hands,<br />
the strings so carelessly attached to me.<br />
i can remove the litter of intimacy.<br />
<br />
alas,<br />
this will not be the death of me<br />
<br />
if that which merely tears seldom lasts,<br />
how can that which breaks ever heal?<br />
<br />
i would rather bleed than feel.<br />
i woul rather bleed.<br />
<br />
no man can learn the value of his life without pain.<br />
yet, no man deserves a life's worth in pain.<br />
and i have a lifetime left to learn.<br />
<br />
am i not a better man?<br />
<br />
a man who has grown sound and strong,<br />
a man who has learned from his misery.<br />
<br />
am i not a better man?<br />
<br />
a clever man who taught his flesh the way of steel.<br />
this lasting man of resolve and will.<br />
<br />
am i not a better man?<br />
<br />
or just a bitter man<br />
that rots with memoris and only grows cold.<br />
<br />
indeed i have grown cold.<br />
<br />
and this moment feels like the harshest end to the coldest day.<br />
this day has lasted a lifetie, with an eternity left to lapse.<br />
<br />
here i am,<br />
forsaken just as i forsook the sun,<br />
a blend of venom and winter -<br />
the kiss of frost and poison.<br />
<br />
how i have wished for a steady hand to wipe away these scares<br />
or a tender kiss to render me forgetful.<br />
<br />
where the sun to follow bitter examples,<br />
we would truly know winter<br />
eternally<br />
<br />
may the sun shine on the forsaken.<br />
may the sun shine brightly,<br />
and illuminate our scars
