No Longer....

by Shen Tao Kaiying - Capricorn

Flames to darkness turn,
all shine gone from vibrant eyes,
now blinded and raw,
from crimson tears.
No longer shall I see.

Fear like rage,
causing heart beats,
like deafening gun shots;
piecing my chest,
and pounding my mind.
No longer shall I feel.

Scars upon flesh,
still ache with lonesome memories;
forever tattooed to haunt me.
Alone and scared,
no companion to ease me,
my assaulted wounds do not cease.
No longer shall I bleed.

I slowly begin to fade;
willingly I wish to be no more.
No longer shall I breathe.

Awakened by a flicker,
a warm fire by my side.
Although I cannot see,
I am no longer afraid.
No longer lost.

My tears you dry,
with gentle fingers.
My fears you calm,
with tender words.
My body you heal,
with soulful eyes.
No longer shall I hurt.

No longer does my heart beat without reason...

I have you.
