People holding hands   Couples part and meet,  Joy and laughter ring Hiding black deceit.   Love eludes the grasp,  A mortified embrace.   Corroded by the Bloody memories of pain.   Life's cruel games Drive shards like steel.   Are we doomed to walk alone?   Will the gashes never heal?   See her hot breath forming Cloudlets in the air,  Dripping sweaty limbs Silky long dark hair.   Disappears again,   Wraithlike to the night   Reaching out to hold Bitter air and morning light.   Alone in a world Of murderous fate,   Anger now is all that's true.   Heaven's lost,   What can I do?
