Dark Paradise
May 1, 2013
And in that moment
My heart shattered
Burst into millions
Of contorted pieces
Terrified tears burst forth
In a gushing rainfall
And now I think
If my heart should stop
I would be happy
Death, I believe
Would be nice
Like a perfect paradise
Wings spread in pursuit of flight
In vain they flap
Down, down, I tumble and fall
On my deathbed I sprawl
I smile at my final release
For now, I am at peace
I have no more words
My mind and heart have run dry
