An Unsent Letter by Danny Villarreal

   

     Something inside is broken

     With no replaceable part

     Sanity is but a token

     Of the fleeting lover's heart

 

     I rage against the world

     And it all falls down on me

     The darkness of my heart

     Bleeds for all to see

 

     A darkness that swallows light

     A darkness I cannot fight

 

     A seething flame I have become

     Without a will or breathing lung

     A simple force I am not

     The rising flames are growing hot

 

     See the world for what it is

     All the lies, deceit, and ID

     Tunnel vision might well be

     The only way for us to see

 

     But open eyes and clogged up hearts

     Are all that now remains

     The purest tears of angels

     Feel like burning flames.
