Wondering eyes stare at me
"Why's she here?
Who is she?
Why should I care...
That she's standing there...
This person I've never met...
Why do I see her as a threat?
Why when I see here standing near...
does my heart clench with unyielding fear..."
My wondering eyes stare back at her
"I'm not backing down,. I know my worth
I want you to know you should be scared
Because I am here to conquer, so be prepared!"
Seeing no way I could make myself clearer...
I turn away from the wondering eyes in the mirror.

There is this cloud
It hovers above me
Swirling with darkness and thunder clapping loud
I try to flee to safety
But it follows hastily
Screaming "There is no escaping me!"
I fall to my knees
begging this cloud, "please..."
But my words could not appease
It said, "I will follow you across the seas,
Up the mountains, threw the trees,
With running there is nothing to gain,
In your moment of weakness I will begin the rain"

You are innocent
A beautiful undiscovered creature
Grazing in life's pasture
Vibrant as sun rays
Yet still a soft glow like moon light
Untouched by the inevitable pang reality
For the preditor lays in wait
Obsessive, he stalks his prey
It didn't take long for him to pounce
clawing and shredding
Tearing away something so precious
You're writhing remains crushed
Nothing left of your innocence but the crimson petals of your flower
Or so you think...
You have no idea that you are still innocent
And while such a loss can never be repaid
While you may cry yourself to sleep from this day on
While your dreams may never be the same
While you may shy away from an honest love's sweet touch
Just know...
Your are Innocent

We are the same
you and I...
Your stride is my stride,
We walk toward the same light
Our fingers weaved together,
Making one unbreakable fist
When you look to me, I look to you
How will we survive this way?
It takes my breath away when I take your breath away...
Oh sweet one,
Draw in a breath of air
So that we may breathe.
