Show me your way

Show me your way

A Poem by Azriel

Life among the wolves,

Seems like a life lived among the thorns, 
Day In day out, rinse repeat, it's all the same. 
In cycles we are born; and in them we shall die,

Dust to dust, never sounded this good,

Never sounded this promising.

You said "You can't drown,

If your lungs are already full of lies, 
And you can't Fall, if you're already breathing at the bottom." 
But these days, and those,

I swear that my darkest shadows now flee from my presence,
And every place of solace,

is now a reminder of your broken promises, 
A memoir of your thorny claws that stuck

And burrowed its way into me.

~ wow... this is very powerful... that second stanza is particularly heartbreaking and moving... ~ though the details of my story might be different, i've been through these excruciating emotions... ~ i think you brought out the characteristics of betrayal really well...
