They say our fate is held in the stars
Tiny silver pinpricks
That decide our future
But what do the stars care
...
A red flower sits
Its brethren not awakened
Beauty unrelenting
Twisting petals
...
Its a soft gentle glow
Not a raging fire
A warmth that feels like home
Safety
...
Bright eyes
Shining with interestÂ
Looking around in awe
Too innocent to be broken spirited
...
This darkness blankets us
Shields us from the world
From the truth
That things are no longer as they were
...
A dark alleyway
Of broken promises
Hope fades into the black
And blackest of blacks hide
...
Bodies lie
In quiet graves
A freshly lain
Joins their lines
...
A clock ticks
In an open classroom
And looks upon the faces
Surrounding it
...
A flower sits
In a lonely field
Its petals overlapping
One by one
...
A void
Chasm of endless sorts
Unchanging for centuries
A deep black grips eyes
...
