Shattered Illusion

Shattered, bloody world of torment and despair,
Whispers of faded dreams that hang in the air,
Rage and confusion stripping my heart bare.

A heart, without a beat, can no longer care,
Twisted, blackened soul becomes pain's new lair,
Obliterating the memory of a once heavenly pair,
Leaving nothing, but bloody gashes and tears.

Falling without mercy, holding onto only a blank stare,
Fleeting drops of times gone by make me aware,
That feeling alive, is precious and rare.
