It was darkness that held me,
When light was away.

i am
     soft like a
     ***** sponge
     burning soapy water.
          the others were calling
                    i tried to reach you,
                   you told me i should.
                                          but you
                                              never
         ­                                     answered
                   ­                      so i left alone
                                      because i am
                                     soft
                                   and
                                 able.

They said she looks like art
But they could not see the thorns in her heart
Neither could they see the hidden storm in her eyes.
