Free-Written Poems: Tiffany Liang

Bleeding inside The heart continues to cry Day and night Walking into the shadows Seconds, Minutes, Hours Light falls out of thy hands Days, Weeks, Months, Years Standing still, emerged with silence Walking into the radiant world Putting on any of the masks Going out to have fun Running back to shut the world  Where did the smile go? Where did the laughter go? When did everything feel so fake? When did reality become a fear?

Falling tears that flow Running down the paths Dried up from time Frozen through reflection Shadow’s cloak drapes upon Lost Desire sings to Despair Pain dances with the hopeless Angels fall from the sky As the world reaches into darkness Demons call upon Fate Grasping every bit of light Hungry for innocent blood Dragging onto the minds of creation Holding onto the weak He who steps on every thorn Shatters every glass Tears very delicately Prays to the Lord Hades Yearns for the deceased A flower that once twirled and sung a lullaby Danced and spoke to the winds Petal by petal consumed by death Wrinkled to appearance  Its smile vanishes and can no longer be viewed Sunk to the bottom  Hidden away internal slumber For it can no longer blossom Goodbye dear beloved For it has fallen short of breath and my heart
