Love Poem: Silent Night

Silent Night

Silent night,silent dreams
silent birds beside silent streams
racing minds,racing cars
razor's edge razor's scars
blood trickles softly down
blood helps this painful frown
memories of days gone by
memories  that make me cry
hopelessness as darkness falls
caving in on me are these walls
restless nights once again
prayers spoken with no "amen"
children asleep in their beds
resting their weary heads
dreaming of what tomorrow will bring
as the heart in my chest remains aching
for the one i lost so long ago
and pierced my heart with love's arrow
left me here to die alone
as if cast aside like a stone
silent night silent dreams
silent birds beside silent streams
