Life Cycles

trial by mirror
delving deep into myself
forging a story

masterful silence
glinting diamonds of wisdom
appear from nowhere

tentative whispers
sounding off inaudible
to anyone else

firmly spoken words
spewing judgment & disdain
for both you and I

shouted epithets
screaming daggers of insults
at all who can hear

confused emotions
entangling Love & Hatred
in unspoken words

stinging sentiment
torching emotional borders
merging Love & Hate

destruction complete
lost relationships linger
uninvited angst

left lonesome longing
branded permanently lost
dreaming tomorrow

waiting too long dead
forgotten buried headstone
resting in pieces.
