Flawless was the sky
Stained by blood
A rise in the war fields
A smile among hate

A child born of darkness
But eyes of innocence

Pulled closer to the pain
I was wrapped in my own cocoon
So beaten on the inside
Soul ridden

Twinkling light held above my head
Cry blood

Sticks scrape my skin
Rocks break my bone
Words slice my neck

One scream to echo

No one can feel my pain
I must bare it alone
Carting this weight on my back
I mustn't fall

No wings to beat
No way of escape
I hang my head mournfully

String to bow
My song plays
But my soul
Lost its
Way
Home

What happened to the 'I love you's'
To the family hugs?
To the we will be the safe place?
It seems like we're all seperating
Though we are so close
No not emotionally
Just physically
Emotion seemes to have fled
Even though we had pledged
To stay together
She's there
He's here
No love found in the middle of the table
We don't say grace this time
Have we all lost faith?
Has hope disappeared ?
I wish I could just rewind
Before all the bad things happened
But in life there's lessons
The severity of the lesson
Depends on our reactions

Snow fall
Trees tall
Sigh and smile at them all
Sky high
Big sigh
I wish I had the courage to fall
From the sky
Arms spread
Cloud bed
And dive
I am alive
So alive
I risk it everyday
Just to say
That I am human

Oh love
You bloom in my garden
A forbidden fruit
Should I take the bite?
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2012
I am not the same
No, even though my name
Remains

I still look alike
But I changed

My eyes are a bit trusting
My heart I've been dusting
And maybe ill open my arms

Am I the same child?
Oh no I'm no child
Not anymore

I've walked a long road
Did most of what I was told
And stood out so bold

Took flight in the sky
This love ill try
Please... Don't hurt me

Could I just be damaged ?
Could I be savaged ?
All these years I've managed
To salvage the day

Ill pick up the ruins
Tour the tombs
And leave knowing
My hearts in place

Oh the sky's were weary
Storming like the sky was crying
The day was dreary
The trees were dying

It was a sort of deathly day
The streets smelt of tears
The crowds crowded in the streets
Blocked the way

There was no birds in the sky
There was no sign of sun
The gods had cursed us I don't know why
But something had to be done

Whether I had to crossed the seas
Or swim the firey lakes
Or whether the answer would come to me
Or I had to fight to take

I would save my dying kin
Because I would give them my life
I rather put my soul out
And admit that I had sinned

I rather lay bare before my god
Then let them all be slayed
I rather bathe myself in guilt
Then live while they decayed

I raise my gauntlet to the sky
While the gods cry
I hope tonight won't be the last
But if it is for them I will die

Sinners don't look back
Everyday we fall from grace
We are all sinners
