Joy
The requiem becomes a whisper
Her greatest fear proven profound
The starving lips where poison kissed her
Still starve for all she never found
In life; a daughter and a sister
Now Joy is married to the ground
Her sunny childhood had missed her
It left no shadow and no sound
But as Joy's soul rebelled in fire,
In icy earth forever bound
Joys coffin quivered in desire
To be a part of joy that's higher
To resurrect the meaning prior
To Joy's first sight through human eyes
To prove there's something to admire
Within Joy's corpse, which never dies...
