Bitter Heart

 Oh, bitter heart that cannot see the truth,  

That in these acts, they strip away their youth,  

And trade it for a darkness, deep and cold,  

A toxic mind, where poison tales are told.

~PCM

Words like Daggers

Before the wound runs deep,  

Before they sow what later they will reap,  

That hurting those who raised them up from dust,  

Is but a sign of brokenness and rust.

~PCM

Rain

 Rain, with its gentle cascade,

 is a sight of unparalleled beauty when viewed

 from the sanctuary of one's home; 

yet, that very rain becomes a source of anguish 

when it breaches the ceiling, transforming tranquility into distress.
