cynthia Routen Poems

I thought you would be there
I believed you would be the one to listen
I can't be the only one to care
I won't be the one whose tears glisten
...

Hers is a delicate beauty.
Some would call her pixie-like.
She had golden-blonde hair and dazeling saphire blue eyes that were filled with a knowledge beyond her years.
She'd held her mother as she wept from the news of the death of her daughters father.
...

The Begining
She was young
She was dumb
She thought he was sweet
...

Locked away in a tower
lieing lifeless like i'm a dieing flower.
Feeling the warmth of the flames dance around me
wishing this wasn't how it was destined to be.
...

The dragons
the witches, the trolls,
and vampires. This fairy tale is
full of twists and turns and unfullfilled desires.
...

I keep on telling myself I need to forget
But every time I try I’m filled with regret.
I wonder if I could have saved you.
I wonder if there was more I could do.
