If only you could see your sickened state, I no longer trust any sight or sound, as if to lure me to sweet death by bait. Shed tears remarkably never around , my mind twice calm now yearns insatiably, grimace now at me thinking so deeply. unmistakably unfathomable. The swan fights silently, a thief tonight, Fleeting moments taking most graceful form. Flying free was stripped from her as a right. Of noble birth a carnation is born, Forever misunderstood and forlorn.
