Skeleton Girl

 

 

 

 

 

I saw you laugh

at my reduntant eyes

a silent falling of sober tears

Holding close those moonlit moments

I folded my hands into my breast

to feel the heartbeat there

 

One by one

You plucked my feathers

casting them to the embers

A mockery of silken promises,

ashes burning away my freedom

I always knew you would

leave me helpless

 

Charred skin

oozing liquid flesh

Shadowy eyes bore deep

into my weak, broken soul

tearing down the walls

that could not withstand

your eager embrace

 

I held

my hopes up to the sky,

let it rain down in a sickening lullaby

No one will ever find me here

among the filth and debris

 

My faith

was scattered in the wind

My cries

seedlings that shall never land

 

Carry my body

in soft deliverance

down to the cool water,

 dip my feet into the reflection

of our world, because good bye

was all that I could ever

hope for

Author's Note

I just kind of pounded this one out. Tell me what you think..

Your structure remind me of dewdrops. Very compatible with the heartrending tale of a broken and battered expectation. But it was a bittersweet soothe of thought at the end to give just a little more beauty at the end than it had at the beginning. Fluidic.

I think it rate with your very best... especially this part ha me spellbound...

My faith
was scattered in the wind
My cries
seedlings that shall never land

such a powerful piece that to me speaks of self redemption and the emotional pian it takes to reach that point.

[OutsideSyntax]

To me this one speaks vivadly of burying a dismal sadness with an unapologetic use of unforgiving words. Beauty... reminds me of things I've long since buried.
