Young Maiden

She would appear in the moonlight, Dazzling everyone, Shining like the truest star. The maiden would dance till the dawn, Would awaken her love from the snore. But true love fell before it began And the pure young maiden wasn’t whole again. The maiden was not pure no more, As she closed her eyes, and let her tear let go Her heart was white as snow, Her body was fragile like the glass The sharpest ends that stabbed her heart Filled the blood everywhere, As her colours drained Her arms slowly lost all support As people’s words layed down her bed She fell, and never woke up again. That’s the day where her mother cried, The world’s voice said goodbye, All it took to pay it back Was her life that she brought it back. She would appear in the moonlight, Dancing even brighter than the sky She was all the young girls had She was the young maiden That was one of the truest stars That would burn over in the dark. The young maiden would dance till dawn, And smile like there’s no end As she is still a pure women That would give her life to protect As she is now an angel From up above the stars.

Very sad a frail, yet in a beautiful and brooding way. It brought to mind a few lovely paintings by the masters.
