She takes this sleep in the ground, buried deep
She watched as they cried, for the one who had died
They grieved for she was conceived just years ago
She failed to tell the world and bailed when she couldn't
Her virgin eyes will no longer see the ambient skies above
And this tale, that i unveil, is of a girl who was so frail
Her point of view went askew and she no longer knew
Of what she was living for, what she was hoping for

They covered her body and she lay there so proudly
For this was the one time, that she was able to shine
She was the center of attention, not misconception
And she loved its perfection, it led her in a new direction
Flying with the wind, no longer pinned, she knew she could win
She soared above clouds, and poured her tears among the crowds
Her body was free of what it once used to be and all she can see
Now are flowers in bloom, free of all gloom, just like she'd be soon




 "It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath..."-FTE

I really like this poem! It's beautiful. I'm sorry for the one you lost.

nights: this is magnificent... so beautiful yet so sorrowful... i adore the last few lines... so vivid...

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge
