Leave In Silence
On angels' wings, through crystal skies
On unseen currents with silent cries
Gliding with purpose from goodness and light
Searching for answers under cover of night
A star like a beacon promises all pain will cease
Pulling you closer with a false sense of peace
But the light that has drawn you no longer feels pure
Its tainted aura surrounds you with a sinister allure
Too late you realize you have to turn back
For the light of your star has gone suddenly black
Its beckoning beams were all but a ruse
Darkness presses in, constricting like a noose
The wings that had carried you furl in on themselves
For it's the place you'd just left where your happiness dwells.
Justine, 1-14-11
