Midnight last night this was the greatest thing I'd ever written. Now I wonder if I should be sharing it with you. This means a kinda something to me so... I don't know... please view it seriously...? Haha...
Premonition Dedication
We are treading glass
Haphazardly
Strewn on the floor.
Little shards slice our soles
(souls?)
Staining the carpet red.
Though it hurts,
We tiptoe.
Don’t make a sound,
Tremble,
-- too late -- they heard.
Glass breaks into pieces;
Splinters to slice up our souls.
She doesn’t see the devil in me that the others see.
Eyes unseeing-- no, she never saw it.
And when the time comes,
I push her away
And take the beating for myself.
She -- hope & faith & purity
-- saw not the beating coming.
I -- cynicism & pessimism
-- am made from tougher stuff
Though
Metal still breaks bone
And shreds skin.
I am down; and
They close my eyes for me.
I still hear her screams.
Unseeing eyes stare ahead --
She was the angel landed by my feet & smiled & took my hand
Her wings -- bloody, broken
She will not fly again --
Match my eyes.
I cannot see her
But in the dark
I hear her cry.
Touching lips, words whispered;
She did not know I was awake.
I did not know I was dreaming.
I tainted like poison
-- transferred lip to lip;
Heart to heart
But they
Did not understand.
Her wings were stronger
Than their metal, and
-- Hands held, lips touched, cheeks kissed--
She soared higher than before
And I -- left behind --
Still horned and blood red in their eyes.
But she
Returned.
And they
Eyes opened.
Mine, she closed
And took my hand; she flew.
Blessed be -- I flew
Shed no blood and glass shoes wore
No broken soles
(souls?)
for we.
I will
Tread softly
And kiss your hands.
Blessed be -- I flew.
Hahaha... looking at it... I wonder what (you/I/she/anyone/everyone) would make of it...
