Pain Incarnated
September 7, 2009
As I walked right past this boardwalk I heard it.
The sound I recognized so much..
It's so familiar that I would cry along with it.
I heard the cry of my pain.
The agony of my heart.
The melody that never leaves my heart.
The melody that comes into place when I see you.
My sky turns red.
Red like the color of the tears I've shed for you.
Red like my blood that pulses so rapidly at your sight.
And yet without noticing, I sway with my tune full of agony.
The tune that makes me fall deeper in love with you.
'Tis the sound of pain incarnated.

Ok I have to admit that I reeeeally like this one. Seriously. I don't know if it's that you have a picture of musical notes or what. Hah I guess it's just your amazing writing skills! My only question is: why are your tears red?mine are clear. Like water. I know that sounds stupid but I'm curious why you chose red for tears. Please let me know. Thanks!
