Pawn
soft as whispers from souls as they transcend our plane,
hot wet tears silent fall down a face wrecked with pain
how much longer can she be so calm, so serene
while a wicked wind gathers to crush her true dream
all along were the signs from a universe that speaks
but to only those willing to listen and keep
one wild eye on the wolves ravenous, circle her now
the other stole low, as if criminal may she prowl
remember sweet nothing though labours be oft
and should anyone tell you its not worth the cost
shout out loud how you couldnt care less were they tossed
simply smile sly and sexy yet ever stay strong,
it confuses the masses of dim-witted pawns
