Her hand slides down my arm,
Fingertips grazing over my skin...

There was a time when I said
That I was foolish...

Twilight slowly fades into a moonless night,
One without the security of the precious...

Woods surround me, a lack of animals unusual
As I trample through dry leaves and over black...

Heavenly murmurs of love put a smile on lips,
Ultimately, the absence of said words lingers and...

Hush, little girl, it won't hurt;
I promise the dark will rid you...

Meanings behind my words are hidden
On the surface of my sore heart...

A low growl escapes through taut lips,
Her eyes burning with a suppressed roaring flame...

I am not sure how she did it,
How she could reassemble the monstrosity...

Hollow steps echo off the ground
As words hang in the air...

A faint smile is strung over quivering lips
Before her head hangs and she holds in a sob...

Walls built high block out everyone
With good and bad intentions...
