Cleansing Tears

Cleansing Tears
Pale red fills the sky at dusk,The moon breaks through the clouds,Shedding a radiant light on all.Sitting while the breeze sings around you,A chill runs up your spine,You feel the presence of tension,Straining to see the stars,Holding on to what is lost,The diamonds taunt you,Daring you to fly up and retrieve them,Pearls fall from your icy eyes,Tears of confusion, tears of sorrow,Pressure makes your heart break,Your mind lets down it's shield,Knives whip through it,Piercing everything you loved,They shatter like the broken silence,The pieces are too small to be saved,Let them fall away from you,Start over and cleanse yourself.
