EmmaA Poem by Mason LipmanYou
are the dark side of me, Painted
black and blue The
bad things behind you, Will
never set you free
What
are you paying for? Where
did it come from? Is
this the life you chose to live? The
one that you strove for?
You
rot in your chains As
the rest of us do But
you can be free Only
you will refuse
You
are my twin sister, My
enemy brood My
failure to destroy you Was
undeniably rude
You
came down upon me, With
thunder and guns And
their roaring applause Had
you thinking you’d won
I
knew the truth, The
ultimatum was mine And
out of my ashes Grew
a lonely red rose
In
your eyes you were angry In
your mind there was hate But
I again knew the truth: That
your revenge was too late.
In
your cell you’re alone, As
I am always But
you know that I love you In
a thousand different ways…
