A beautiful but sad sacrifice to stay
A chapter in the book A Perfection's Worth
Charcoal Forest
by GregoryCody
Soot from a heart long burning; burnt out
Mixes with mud from thundering storm clouds Into the cracked crystal's splinters, drips infectious liquids Sliding through grooves, chiseled by miserable sickness Etched from countless complaints, anger galore, the vacant embrace I'm matched only by being here more, so I patiently wait As if blocking the sun thin with deliberate hands My cheeks remain dry skin - swimming in dark sand A prisoner of drifting silk bars, with scissors of reason She stays shackled to nothing, remains without freedom I step into its essence, with conviction-less sparkle, My presence, my sickness; a prism of charcoal Creeping inside the missing shimmering light My face plays behind lies, greed, distance...delight A rainbow with layers of the same color of nowhere Droops over cobwebs, paired chairs of rocking despair We stumble as lovers within forests stripped bare And as we dance underneath We bleed through our teeth My chin glistens with comfort, hers...disbelief Devoid of glowing, of glee - no apologies - emptiness inside exists only in me. |

Guiltless guilt for hurting the ones loved most...someone out there might understand the meaning behind it...
Perhaps it is about a man with a disease that sometimes drags the love of his life down with him. But she stays. Sacrifices her own happiness, out of true love for him...
