Broken Fairytale

by Hatori   Jul 2, 2007


A tear fell down my cold, red cheek,
Laying in the snow, so weak,
I felt alone, stranded, only me,
No longer did I want to seek,
For someone to cure my heart, so meek.

When I finally looked up to see,
If someone cared to hold the key,
To open my eyes and save,
What is left of my fairytale that once was free.
There you were, with eyes like the sea.

Like a needle and thread so brave,
You stitched up my broken soul and gave,
A shimmer of hope and so much more,
To me, the one who had been merely a slave,
To the witchery and darkness that fills every cave.

As you mended the scars that I cannot ignore,
The sky grew bright as never before,
For the first time in 7 long years, a smile finally grew.
My wings that were damaged, learned to soar,
Soar once more, forever to explore.

7 years in the past, any dream I had, I would pursue,
But then the accident came devastatingly true,
And I lost my arm, half my sight and became full of fright.
When people saw me, they laughed and threw,
Crude remarks, harsh words, and pain that never withdrew.

Now you know what happened to my fairytale that night,
When it was shattered, rejected, no longer a light.
When you finished mending my soul, after those years,
A part of me remained scarred, no longer right,
I wanted to give up, the long, hard fight.

The final thing I ask, is to leave the pieces and tears,
Of my shattered soul, for when you leave, my pain reappears.
You saw another, who needed your help,
She was my sister, who had a thousand fears.
Even when it's a matter of life and death, she interferes.

A tear fell down my cold, red cheek,
Laying in the snow, so weak,
I felt alone, stranded, only me,
No longer did I want to seek,
For someone to cure my heart, so meek.

    I'm not really used to poems that have stanza's with 5 lines, (I usually do 4 lines in one stanza) but in this poem it made it pretty. Also, what I liked about this poem is that you repeat the first and last stanza.. and the poem just has lots and lots of emotion to it... it makes it wonderful.
