Stolen Jewels

Copyright, Lisa

Beaded jewels of crimson hate
Seep silently from the wound,
Shattering as they kiss the ground,
The perfect picture; ruined

The quick release of the painful bite,
And then suddenly it's gone,
The screaming voice of the silent heart
Again, the addiction is reborn

The rubies sparkle in the light
The stolen treasures of dreams
The stinging slice of the hurtful hand
Transparent as it seems

The mask of lies covers the scars
And the mirror of truth has been smashed
The films of every future's past
The realities of imagination, trashed

Loving hate and hating love
And seeking out the pain
The sharpened claws grasp at the skin
And leave a bloody stain

The boarder has been over-stepped
The fine line has been crossed
The scarlet doves have been released
And forever they are lost.
