Beyond the Blue

There is pain 

A sadness so deep 

Untouched by time 

Woven so tightly 

Into every perfect imperfection. 

Tears wiped away by callused hands 

The images blurred behind freshly healed wounds. 

A beautiful soul

Who has seen too much 

Fragile as the heart it protects 

A love without fear 

Never questioning a single moment 

And an intense fiery passion 

Untarnished by all that has threatened it.-
