Mar 2013
She held the world in the palm of her hand
There was no pain that she couldn't withstand
But she soon wiltered to the voice of command
No longer a pyramid but just one grain of sand

She was a pearl of beauty and grace
All of life's lessons etched into her face
But to his touch, she'd shiver and brace
No longer smiling, she knew her place

She once was strong, she once held power
Where radiance shone down in abundant showers
But he ignored her until her soul he'd devour
Leaving her heart in the corner, she'd cower

She grew stronger with time until she could stand
Picking her heart up, she soon took command
She left him in awe at her final demand
To stay in her life, though not how they'd planned

Now this pearl has no home, no heart to share
She'll search the sea for an oyster who'll care
While building back up her pymarid lair
So she can once again soar where eagles dare
