The Pit

The pit Hello she said The pit of my stomach dropped An angel spoke The butterflies woke My mind is blank, thinking of something slick, but mute I become. Bye she says and walks away She leaves a beautiful scent, and leaves a trail of feathers she flies off Time came and went Don't know how I managed to gain someone like you, kind, gentle, and caring. Every word you have said had meaning to them. Over time my eyes realized your true lies All I gain was pain yet All that joy that I gained, while you stayed Made me realize the mistake I made Knowing you were fake ...Your words no longer left meaning , leading me to lean on hopes and dreams that will never be. Hello she no longer spoke. An silence succubus The pit of my stomach turned sour The moth awoke. Countless things I want to tell you But I bite my tongue She walks pass with a limp, she no longer has wings covered in feathers they are replaced with a thin layer of skin an unimaginable foul smell fellows she stumbles away.
