Here I Stand
Looking at a man
Broken, Beaten and Bruised
Unmoving and Transformed
The rain falls heavily around us

I feel it dripping down my face
Drenching me to the bone

But not even this nights’ cold wind chills me
As deeply as this broken man’s gaze.

His lips part
I hear a noise
A cry of pain

His heart he yells
His heart is dead

His eyes are soul less
Broken and scorned
Those of a forsaken lover

A chill runs down my spine
Sparked by fear of those eyes
I take a step back,
He takes one forward
And so goes this dance

I feel that every step I take is one closer to hell
A hell this man knows all to well
Here I stood
Rain falling, Drenching me to the bone
His gaze chilling me to my very soul

There he stood
Rain falling, Drenching him to the bone
Heart aching, killing him slowly
