Poem
Once upon a time There was a fire lit within a small girl Her fire started off minute, deep inside First with never seeing the outside of the world Second, belts were meant for beating Third, lips were made for yelling Fourth, clothes were meant for suffering Fifth, closets were made for rocking Her fire was so hidden and so tucked away Years and years she dug and dug To find this flame she so had already beloved As she searched and searched this is what she found A box of trinkets fell to the ground As she walked forward to pick up each one She noticed that the journey had just begun The first was a knife, to cut the pain The second was a tattoo gun, that gave her strength The third was a powder, to dumb the brain The fourth was lipgloss, to hide the shame And the fifth was a key, that held her name She tried keyhole after keyhole to find the same But as she cried, it came down like rain Her fire was dying, deep inside her soul Where there was a keyhole with one made of gold She went place to place On this journey from hell To find the magic one who would break her shell She traveled by day and searched by night Hoping to break her site She cracked it back, snagged it fast And inhaled the life away as she slipped into grey All hope was lost and fate was paid As so she thought Till one day, she said his name and he said hers They met by night and crazed away Every dream, hope, feeling, experience was said As she fell in love with him moment after days Sometime had past and things got tricky But as she looked through the past and the icky She saw a light, hidden in her soul As he grabbed the key, she fell short Short breathed, for could this be? He reached in her heart Felt the beat, drum drum And unlocked her soul Soon, very soon She grabbed his key And unlocked his heart As she felt it drum she sung a song Of true love bursting from Her twin flame had now been won
