A poem that expresses the sadness of feeling lonely. |
Her tears of pain never seemed remembered she was stolen by the silence in their eyes an angel in the city of starlights that shimmer how could anyone tell her when she cried she was unlike the rest with her wings of butterflies we know the rotten ones messed up on their way home home to the only place they'd ever really known even though they only wanted to be everything they'd dreamed now they're setting sail off these shores just wanting a reality they can call their own because she knew it's what she was meant to be a writer, an actress, a singer at only three now her tears are only shadows, she is too thin to wear a dress and she worries that the sweater hides mistakes she wont confess in the corners of halls where were the lonely children wrapped up in their sorrow, will they ever be forgiven? he cries because he knows he messed up this time again she's got her nerves unwired, if only she could get it right she just wants to be happy but she knows it always lies when these shadows become faces and reflections of the past all the memories, the ghosts of them, start to get the best she wants to dissappear because she's tired all the time so she lights up her cigarettes and flicks the lighter with her pain she will do it just to feel the bliss of this escape again "you're just as gorgeous as a dancer" he says through a fog of sleep but she only feels like cancer when she looks at what she sees all the scratches and the bruises, the sun wont make them fade.. is this loneliness or is it something that she must now convey to the crowd of soul-less observers, watching with dismay sleep alone in a house that hates you for your skin or in the gutters with the angels high on hopeful wishing she's neither made it back to the place she would belong now they sneer and hold regret as if it were wrong and for now silently weeping, always when they arrive if only she could be like those little butterflies and just flutter like an angel up into the shimmering sky |
