rain on a black sunday

by heather - Taurus

this is the seventh time my heart has died
within my ribs today:

(you are so Tender)

i could not live and be the afflictor,
the bringer of Irremovable
bruises;

(you are so Gentle)

weak, weary waves
flow from these eyes -
soul hollow
as rain.

(you are so Final)

like the ocean,
like the blackened 
Oblivion
found in Night's
somber caress.
like the Cold i am.

(you are so Eternal)

but i will crumple,
wither, 
fall under,
and drown again.
