Crystal Tears

Note: Written in early 2006

Innocent blood, spilled again
Pure white snow forever stained
Crystal tears shatter as they fall
Drop by drop from lives so small
Silent haunting endless screams
Penetrating childish dreams
Silent crystal tears fall
Drop by drop from us all
A whispered word might be the last
Another memory in a forgotten past
No one to follow, no hand to hold
No one around in the quiet cold
Frozen memories are all that remain
As once again innocence is slain
Terrified eyes looking for someone they’ve lost
Till they too are just wandering memories in the frost…
