The Damned



                                                                      The Damned


A free spirit, an untethered heart
                                                                     Soaring above the larks.
                                                           Waiting to spread its wings and fly,
                                                       Higher than the unbinding crystalline sky


 Yet with eyes so fresh and mind so bright
                                                                Her wings are torn and battered,
                                                                Sitting alone; her life shattered.
                                       Before her nothing she see’s…beside her, loneliness breathes.


 A little heart beating inside her,
                                                   Caressing her emotions with tiny palpitations.
                                                              A new life blooming within her,
                                                  Embellishing her with motherhoods coronations.


 Ever so softly, her heart melts
                                                 To sing to the tune of her newly formed angel
                                                   How can she murder this innocent stranger?
                                                     But if she should, two lives will be taken…


 That of her seraph and that of her spirit… Mangled by the judgment of humankind, crushed by the weight of judging eyes, stomped by the cruelty of sneering smiles…
