captivity
By Lylani
I tried to scream
But you stole my voice
Choked the breath from
my lungs
I tried to cry
But you stole my tears
Turned
to sand on empty beaches
Because once upon a time I tried to
love
You stole my heart
Shattered it
Crushed it
disfigured
beyond recognition
I tried to steal the stars out of the sky
for you
But they were never enough
Fell through the cracks
in your fingers
On empty floors of this prison cell they cut my
toes
The scars are there for all to see
But
No
more tears
No more smiles
Just silent disdain

A tear for every hrain of sand on the beach... This has the beauty of the comming tide, and the heart break of a sand castle lost. I always enjoy your posts... ^V^
