Tears of Hollow Emptiness
Thyne eyes
 whos colors were pure and whole
 are now dead, grey
 as the stone on a grave
 never visited or loved
 the face of awe struck beauty
 that left me breathless
 and searching for air
 now is is hidden beneath
 the dreary clouds
 that are set in her emotions and face
 it cannot be erased
 I remember how your smile once shone
 every time I came into view
 and I would think
 how can I, a monster
 a being of hate and death
 who walks through a dead forest of black trees
 where no birds ever ever sing
 where no no love has ever been sprung
 but you planted your seed
 growing, slithering
 between the dead branches
 and I saw the beautiful colors 
 shoot up
 opening wide its velvet petals
 when in bloom
 sending a shower of beauty
 and pure grace over me
 and I bathed in it
 soaking up everything I could
 turning into a fair doe
 turning into something beautiful
 then your serene petals 
 began to wither
 turning brown at the edges
 wrinkling at the tip
 and slowly I would lose color  getting sucked back in
 forming back into the cannibal
 I once was
 and when your gorgeous flower lay dead
 I buried it
 shedding these tears 
 of hollow emptiness
 and when the drops hit the bare ground
 it closed shut 
 leaving me alone forever
