Sea of Heartbreak

Lost at sea of heartbreak

Ocean of despair

Sour tears of loneliness

Catch currents in the air

Raging for a moment

Then timidly it fades

Time stands still around such thoughts

Dreams cut like razor blades

Spines hold callused fingertips

Not rugged, roughened steel

The demons came out yesterday

Preparing for their meal

Today they feast on love and hope

Devour sunny days

They live off greed and faulty truth

Sordid are their ways

Sneak around and eat the flesh

From tattered, beaten souls

Rip away what they’ve got left

Rake them onto coals

Fiery furnace raptures

Screams no longer heard

Underbelly of the beast

Chows down every word

No surrender to the monsters
Promise lingers on
Though blood laced visions moan and drip

Sing a righteous song

True hearts stand together

Never claim defeat

Breathe courage

Live strength

Take leaps of faith

Angels don't retreat
