The Last Dance

'Twas the eve of the day to follow My body tense,my soul hollow. I embraced the night like it was a friend Knew i would remain here till the bitter end. Dark and cold in this mysterious place Had i really fallen from Grace? Standing before the mirror peering at the face i had become Fearful of nothing for where could i run. At my feet lay my broken wings Now shattered but reminiscent of wonderful things. Would Forgiveness shine on my withered past? My stride only to stumble on splintered glass. Would Mercy bless me with a second chance 'Twas the eve before my last dance.

Like the slow description given trough out the whole poem, very cool and kinda fades a little bit on the dark side, i caught that on the part "Would Forgiveness shine on my withered past?" Is very cool anyways, loved it, good one Lisa ;)
