You kept your calm Even while leather straps Teased your back In the most malicious Of ways... The cries that Escaped your lips Sounded like songs to me, You plucked the strings Of the harp Within me And pulled like the moon On the waves And brought tears to My eyes, The midday sun plead With me To blink them away though The salt would sting On bloodied fingers.

Composure
You kept your calm Even while leather straps Teased your back In the most malicious Of ways... The cries that Escaped your lips Sounded like songs to me, You plucked the strings Of the harp Within me And pulled like the moon On the waves And brought tears to My eyes, The midday sun plead With me To blink them away though The salt would sting On bloodied fingers.
