Embeded Emotions

I sit on this floor 
and look at this same 
six-sided room,
a die that I continue 
in a trundle manner 
for fortune's fate.

I search for a turnkey, 
which I will not encounter, 
for I am not of compliant natures.

Trapped and scared from 
thoughts of turning
into procreators 
that held the girl back.

Wings of tattered emotion 
seem to be embedded in her back 
are to show signs 
of false hopes.

She calls herself Faith, 
though she hasn't one.

To say in reply to what 
her name means, 
she is noone so 
there is lost hope in herself.

You see her heart worn 
a sleeve covering her 
conflicts with emotion 
on her forearm.

Soft spoken, her voice, 
reassuring that 
the timidity in her eyes 
isn't there 
when first glance 
is gazed upon to be known.

Hair of silk, 
long and black, body pale, 
eyes bold, 
all features of 
the one who used to be 
loved for who she was.

But as the snow falls 
like flower petals, 
falling elegantly off its stem, 
so does the girl 
falling for him.
