Midnight Hope [Terza Rima Sonnet]

by aDORKable x3   Apr 11, 2007


Hiding in the house, behind pale white curtains;
A girl, so lonely, afraid to step outside.
Her life, so broken, filled with things, uncertain.

Her pale blue eyes are constantly forced to hide;
Her skin, iridescent, in the harsh sunlight.
Her pillow is stained from the tears she has cried.

Scared, she flees from the warmth of light-
Bruised and broken, the tears well up in her eyes.
Watching her closely, what a horrible sight!

It's midnight again when she realizes:
She has the power to be able to cope.
She struggles on weak knees and no longer cries.

Strung out on her leash at the end of her rope-
It all came about because of Midnight Hope.
