Fragment

You wrapped me in your wings As together we lay Seven days in heaven Before you flew away I regret that moment When first I saw your smile I longed for forever You only stayed a while I'm left with no answers You left me before dawn Me the ugly duckling Dreaming you were my swan Yet some dreams are fleeting No answers will be found A heart can be broken Without making a sound September 3rd, 2013 Fragment contest
