Windows Apart

She slips away silently, to escape mothers screams And crawls so softly, into bed, into dreams His dreams became so dark Left them to his escape into the dark To dream open eyes outside window Across his vision he saw as light lost its flicker Loss for air she lay, sobbing away sorrow But she felt invaded, grasping in surprise's horror So close these shattered mirrors lay A soft curious cry,a leaf blow away Together now their halos became so clear The coping of bewildered souls to share He slips away silently, to escape his skeleton's haunts And crawls softly, into new arms, to cure a world of wants

Awwee I like this....I had a thought to do that too..but I didnt know exactly how to do it, so I just switched it to a guy, rather than making it a girl again....most of my poems are actually about me, but This one, I think I just wanted a little bit of change, nice job on this I like it...Im glad my little bit helped create it....<33 Jese
