The Charcoal Sketch
A charcoal sketch of lonely eyes;
Stygian grey reflected lies,
Desolate haunts that drift from where
the graphite raven sets her stare;
Trembling pleas her god denies,
A charcoal sketch of lonely eyes,
Feels embers dim to chalky coal
and onyx smolder through her soul;
Her screams are muffled by her lips
so tightly sewn by fingertips,
A charcoal sketch of lonely eyes,
reduced to tears of silent cries;
She prays for light as darkness draws,
once more gets groped by daddy’s claws;
So now in skies as raven flies,
A charcoal sketch of lonely eyes.
