A short poem

Delve deep into my heart and you will see
a heart so cold it petrifies the soul in me
Hardened by time and by its ancient past
the pyramid of animosity and the shadow it casts.

'Fate Mocks Me Like a House Built on Sand'

There were times in my life when it all revolved so slow
frozen panes of memories that didn't seem to want to go
like memories of you and the love we shared
and losing you just like that was more than I could ever bare.

Random thoughts fill my head in drops of rain
all the sufferings, hardships, perseverance and pain
Dark memories of a dark past emerge from within
one that's embedded in my soul... concealed... unseen.

Fate mocks me like a house built on sand
reminiscent of people I've lost... slipping out of my hands
Revealing images of what I had and lost
making me feel the pain of its wrath and cost.

And once again, as I lay my soul to rest
I know I'll wake up again to face tomorrow's test
And live by the paths that were drawn for me
carved out of sheer anguish, torture and misery.
