Tapers
Two tapers in a dark room can only be seen
By the watcher
He stares in adoration
Of her
Of complete pride
His young thing
The angels themselves covet
The soft glow kisses her flawless skin
They dance on her features so strikingly
They love her
She knows they do
Only this sweet thing could have fallen
From god's hands himself
Complete sweetness drips
From the very tips of her fingers
As he tastes them one by one
Enticed
Enthralled
Entranced
Full of life and promise
Her very being delighted in his presence
The earth itself would bow down
If it could
Both waiting for more
A future
Plans take way in blissfulness
Hopeful
And filled
He only speaks of her as a goddess
He speaks of her as his own
She knows it
She has him now
Shards
While in the shadows away from any luminosity
Sits a jaded forgettable creature
Green of envy pours down those pale used cheeks
She looks through to him
With empty reliance
But full redress
Feeling the years triple past her age
And it surfaces incredibly well
She watches in her corner
he sees nothing for her anymore
She feels the cold set in
Into her very bones
She knows it
Her plans crushed under heavy tainted ness
Empty
And alone
She feels it in the words
Trailing from his lips
Venom
Vileness
Vexation
The warmth she was worthy through his arms is gone
It's restricted and distant
The warmth now is replaced
By the hell bound palace
Of her mind
The very thought of rising
Shot down
And reprimanded
Picking up the shards
Off the floor
That once was a heart
Watching the edges cut the life free
From her fingers
She knows she's ugly
Forgotten
Put away
She would do without reminders
But reminded over and over
She had him once

Put away
She would do without reminders
But reminded over and over
She had him once
of society, she won't last.
But no matter what, she isn't alone
for at home she has a friend of her own.
He's a special one, no doubt about it
who loves her, her every bit.
To the point of, following her
like a shadow, bound forever.
Together, they live in the lost
away from reality, a world she has tossed.
Playing, sleeping, a wondering shadow
Innocence, deceit, away from the know.
She's trapped in silence, by her friend
waiting for a savior, before the end.
With no strength, she has chosen to retreat
Dwelling, lingering, in her choice of defeat.
Don’t run.
Don’t give up when it gets hard.
Don’t lower your chin.
Don’t think you’re not strong enough.
I believe you won’t run.
I believe you won’t give up when it gets hard.
I believe you won’t lower your chin.
I believe you’re strong enough.
I know you won’t run
I know you won’t give up when it gets hard.
I know you won’t lower your chin.
I know you’re strong enough.
(As I read this over it kind of seems like a mother talking to her son/daughter as they grow from 'don't do this' to 'I belive in you' to 'I know you can do this'.)

So far from home
Forever silenced
And sentenced to roam
The shackles are locked
And the collar is tight
But nobody hears me
I'm too weak to fight
The stars that once twinkled
Are now dark in the night
And the moon that once shone
No longer gives light
On each sparse tree
No leaf is stirred
And the owls that once played
Can no longer be heard
Far in the distance I can see
A glimpse of weak light
That teases me
I watch it grow then fade away
Like a slippery fish
That just can't stay
And as I try to struggle free
The chains resist
And strangle me
As I fall back I clearly see
That a single bird
Flies over me
It stops to perch
Upon a stone
And opens its beak
In a sorrowful moan
A sweet sparrow
With no where to go
It lost its path
And became a crow.
