A Dreadful Thing

A bright candle flame!

A happy life tame,
A open soul is named.

A tear of happiness,
A nights peaceful silence,
A skinned knee the only thing bleeding.

A loving heart steadily beating,
A happy life still breathing,
A life with a smile.
^_^

A dreadful thing happens…

<_>
A hurt life not worth living,
A breathing life hurting,

A scared heart relent-ly beating,
A slit piece of flesh still bleeding,

A nights silence haunting,
A tear unwelcome,

A hidden soul unnamed,
A broken life untamed,

A blown out candle flame!
