Veil

My heart bleeds
As I cry an endless stream of tears

Time for change
Difference
Unwelcome

But needed

Offered up to a god
The offer refused

Life hanging in the balance
And the balance is frayed

That is why my heart bleeds
And tears fall

Inequity at every turn

And amazing beauty elusive

Hidden under the veil of pessimistic truths
And lies

Broken for the shortest of moment
At least once

That is why my heart bleeds
And tears fall

Can't un-see what has been seen
Can't hide from a beauty which I know exists

Despite the eternal gloom
There is light

So that is why my heart bleeds
And why my tears fall

    Perfect

    I like the repitition of:

    That is why my heart bleeds
    And tears fall

    It helps the picture of the poem be more 'vibrant'. You have a unique style of writing. It is different and un-poser like. Thanks for sharing!

    very true, very over used themes, but considering that I trying to beat writers block, I think this isn't bad, at least considering that fact anyway, but thanks for the comment

    The language flows really smoothly, you use repittion well (though you do have a lot of really over used themes). But it's still good, really done well.

    sounds pretty. I like it. I guess I am too tired to understand it today. I'll also read it tommorrow to see if I get it perfectly in my little head. sounds pretty though.
