Feigned Her Innocence

Listening in silent despair 
Ambivalence 
Numb as she walked
Bound by time was far from freedom 
   I wouldn't change her everything 
Despite my cries 
All is left behind me
All is gone and All is lies 
Nodding smiles in Jester's torture
Nothing escapes the fallen tree
   Close my eyes in hollows hiding
Desperation saddening
Turn another pageless chapter 
In the mirror 
The horror is me
   Splintered in her head forever 
Were those words so deafening 
And with the wind the sounds of violence 
It's paranoia that follows Me
   I've become whom she's decided 
~Terrified 
   She holds my scream 
   Desolation sounds inviting 
       And so it burns ~
         ~This Broken Dream
