Lemuel 2d
I remember when I was younger,
Wishing to soar across the sky
back then,dreams felt real-
But even dreams...do die.
We thought we knew
a single night of lunacy
And life took a cruel turn
From joy so sweet
And dreams so wide
to silence when
The sun sets at dawn
Now the birds don't  sing
morning  songs-
They mourn.
Their notes a requim
For what we lost.
And all that remains
are memories
Bittersweet-
memories
Lemuel 3d
She came to life through  a cry,
born beneath a storm-stained sky,
Through  suffering,
through sharpened strife,
she clawed her way into life.
But deep within,a silent crave-
A thirst for secrets life once gave-
drew her beneath a crashing wave,
Into a dark and reckless  dive.
And after nine slow,swollen months,
With  a burdened belly bowed in front,
She rose from shadows,raw and brave,
cradling not a child-
but a warhead.
It split her dreams,
Shattered her name,
left her soul,
Aboard a train
of endless  pain
And silent shame .
Now bound by chains
she cannot break,
Her heart grows dim
With every breath.
Hope once bright-
now flickers faint
she walks the edge
of life and fate
Why?
she can't tell
It all began-
with a race against life,
But life...
Outran her.
