For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Isaiah 55:12

A stab through your kindly pure heart
And sunbeams spuit out into my dark, sullen soul.
To take brightness in the wrost way.

Without light,
We both subside into the abyss until suffocation.
Stopping for a moment,
To look death in the face.

Your light wasn't good enough to cast us both upwards.
A dim and dark soul in a sunless world.
You can no longer shine.
