Defeat

In the soothing orange light of the setting sun She sits there waiting on its disappearance Her body melts into the creaking swing While her feet play into the delicate grass Her heart is heavy in her chest Like the truth of a hidden lie She eases deeper into the swing Accepting the burden scorching inside She believes this is the last day of its kind Days to come will flow with less magic and happiness She stares at the sun deeply, wondering if when it returns Will it have changed like everything else No longer will she be a bright persuasion The disbelievers have stolen her light The battle was agonizing And in the world where good never wins over evil She was defeated The sun suffocates beneath the horizon While her heart beats to never cease In the cool darkness of the night Tears begin to fall unseen But no one will care
