In the darkness,
Forever crawling,
Hands and knees bloodied
From the experience -
A journey we cannot regret.
Nevermore to melt the hearts of kings,
Your beauty is shunned away.
Enraptured so many,
Now locked inside a prison of shell –
Of glass, so dark it hides your very soul.
You guessed correctly
When you said we'd all forget
And fall by the wayside,
Never crying over
That first time we met.
And now, in darkness,
I try to grasp that last memory
Your smile ... so lush
And I'll crawl forever
To not let it slip away.
Nevermore to melt the heart of dreamers,
Your beauty is forced away.
Intoxicated so many,
Now locked inside a prison of feathers –
Of fear, so real it hides your very soul.
You always knew
It would come to this –
This darkness and pain,
That's why you hid,
That's why you never let me stay.
