Watching From Afar


The steam is rising
Slowly building in force
Rumblings  are felt
No one prepares
The words spew
Like poison  darts
Fire tips burning
As they Pierce the heart
The speed of each dart
Splatters those standing near
Slowly tearing emotions  apart
You can’t  escape
There’s  no where to run
When you  open your soul
And let love live within
You can silently  weep
You can  pray for all
But in the end
It is theirs  to fall
