Dragons have tears

*The girl is waiting for the moment just before midnight

The waiting driving madness further into her core

With every beat of her frail heart

She falls deeper into her self

Silenced only by the louder noise of wings flapping around her

What should she do?

Run?

She sits shocked in awe of such a beautiful creature

Feared by many

The girl knew only too well the ways in which we try so hard to think ourselves superior

And yet we fall when nature takes hold

Manipulating

Killing

Respectfully hiding our faces in the sand

The creature holds her gaze for a meer moment

Connection is made

Can you feel the invisable thread

can you witness

The tears that flow so freely

Cleansing the pain

Freeing the soul

Can you hear the heartbreak of the Dragon

As it sings the tunes of every heartbreak

Wanting the endings to be simpler

Less painful

Dragons have visions

The past is gone

And the future is beyond their control

The dragon out side her room

Is still breathing

Just

As a single tear is seen trickling down his face

She holds on tight to the thought

That if a dragon can die of heartbreak

Then what hope is there for a girl as frail

And misunderstood as she

She lies beside him

When dawn breaks she finds herself alone

With a note left

'Gone back to the heart from whence I came'

Look after your heart well

For if the dragon in you finds it needs to be free from you

The pain must have been so strong

But now he has released that which he could no longer hold onto

He can once more be connected

To all that you have become*
