Love's Lullaby

 I'm thinking every so often I'll bore you with my poetry. ^_^ This one is Love's Lullaby, originally written in....wow, high school. But, among all the moody and over-dramatic high school poetry I wrote, this was one of the better ones.


As two young souls dance among the midnight stars
they reach out for each other
only to be broken apart.

One falls asleep to the lullaby
of screams and blood and tears
as the gentle cold of a winter's night
only unearths her fears.

a glance towards a collection of knives
the memory of blood,
the memory of that one last
goodbye kiss...shatters every wall she had put up

With the ghostly winds came a young face,
a child, a friend, a lover.
a soul so innocent,
waiting to be deceived,
wishing for belief in happiness.

A broken heart the world has already forgotten,
hungry for comfort, for pleasure, for her.
sweeping the girl into her cold embrace,
she promises the world for just one night.

In just one night,
two hearts can be broken
as the night goes on,
the pain only gets worse.

It's the cycle of love
The cycle of lust
the cycle of everything to come.

As two young souls dance among the midnight stars
they reach out for each other
only to be broken apart.
