truth

.

spirits soar from homeland they come
twisting and wreathing they breathe and come
screaming in agony they fail to launch
reaching and hoping from beyond they come

hearts and daggers the only words
truer than life, truer than truth
spinning dangerously over the edge
clinging and weeping they come

pain is a bond stronger than love
forces are weakened for what has begun
sliding and slipping the ice is thin
but they cling on and soon they come

souls are splintered and never whole
they crave affection and they crave to hold
silent pleas and sanity unassured
spirits are crying and on they come

final conflict tears and wrecks
splinters are splintered at words regret
truth is spilt and a pact formed
truth was late and the end had come.
