Reds Queens Torment

by MariAnn C.   Oct 16, 2018


Behind her eyes
Lies Mystery
For her thoughts betray her often
And leave her in unrest

Insomnia torments her every move
Shadows lurk behind her eyes
She has been wronged

Her mystery is her strength
And her inner light shines through
The shadows that plague her
Jump back in terror
For they do not know
Her inner strength

But I see it
See it well with my two eyes
I know she will break away
From the chains that keep her down

And Ill be there
To help her rise

--Checkmate--

    Sometimes people underestimate how much strength someone really has in times of need and that strength grows experdentially when a true friend stands beside them. A great sentiment that will always hold true. Milly x
