Something is missing
Out of place, askew
But needed to go on
Deep and resonating
Jagged and sharp
Cuts deep inside
Contentment stripped
Now a gaping hole
Curled up inside
Sealed up, secluded
Solitary brings quiet
Peace is but temporary
Chaos will break down the order
Conflict will flare again
Clash and break like waves
Come down on the rocks
Wind whistles
Fights the world
Hates the world
For what it has done
Broken and Spoiled
Beauty ruined
Shattered and estranged
Bonds must break
Destruction leave its scars
Wipe clean the knife
Fear for it mars
Mars your beauty and mars your life
