linger on the wind

Hiding behind the smile

Everyone has a story

Some can find humor

When there is none

Some can weave a tail

When the story is empty

Others suffer in silence

Waiting for an apology

One that will linger on the wind

Knowing an apology will never arrive

In the shadows of a life

Echoes linger

Till they no longer matter

Diamonds

Diamonds from the sky

Glitter on ice

Strong together with whispers

Lose the ambiguity

Just another sad smile

Smoke spirals into the fog

Anonymous in the haze

Spiraling into the future

Hate consumes from within

Raining in January

Diamonds from the sky

Freezing as they hit the ground

Whispers on the wind

Lost in ambiguity

Life left those eyes long ago

Another sad smile

Fire burns all the hope

The smoke drifting into haze

All the diamonds

litter the ground
