Hidden Hurts

Aching from a thousand shards
Every turn just as marred
Lying here an empty shell
Under a cruel & twisted spell

Tears I cried for gentle grace
Sadly staring into space
Hidden within woven vines
Sooth so say forgotten rhymes

Constant memories suffer pain
Whispered words keep me sane
Heart a splinter, less than whole
Yet you comfort my lost soul

Silence reigns throughout my world
Even dragon wings are furled
Fallen angels walk the earth
Bound in chains, eternal dearth

Underneath the pretty fans
Virtue marked by careless hands
Unwritten in this tome
Who am I without a home?
