Ebony Cries
Ebony cries as she closes her eyes,
lace up her thighs cutting her
lies down to size-
Crimson petals fall onto
jade thorns as she remembers
the moment she wept and mourned.
A fever broke and beauty flutters
with wings of silver as she
mutters and stutters.
For life has been rough and pain
has been tough and through the sorrow
she still weeps for tomorrow-
No lungs to borrow a breath of fresh air,
just a lonely blithe with no one to care.
There once was a knight who brought
her delight but his white horse galloped
off into the black night.
Her sight not sought and her fight not
fought as she wishes she bought
good fortune and fame-
She’s just a pitiful dame without
a proper name and good faith
she was never taught.
Blood red tears fill her soul
with fears and her inspiration
gone with the breeze-
Forgotten moments on the verge
of atonement as her beauty she
never sees.
Feelings of disgust walk with her lust
and her memories flaunted into
disregard-
For without any trust, loss is a must
and now life is just too damn hard.
Ebony cries blood red tears from
her eyes…
