I wept for a life that was stolen I cried myself unconscious missing a golden reflection Sneaking breaths of memories trapped in the dark Like an utter fool I gave up such a precious portion Handing over what used to be sacred While whispering words too secret to be audible Unaware of my folly Limping through my days on crippled wings And now wincing at the knowledge of what I helped create What was once so revered, what was once so precious Has slowly slipped through these fingers I spun in circles under the sleepy stars I let the burn envelope me Suffocating in order to believe That I wasn't just another foolish girl 10/8/08

Foolish Girl
I wept for a life that was stolen I cried myself unconscious missing a golden reflection Sneaking breaths of memories trapped in the dark Like an utter fool I gave up such a precious portion Handing over what used to be sacred While whispering words too secret to be audible Unaware of my folly Limping through my days on crippled wings And now wincing at the knowledge of what I helped create What was once so revered, what was once so precious Has slowly slipped through these fingers I spun in circles under the sleepy stars I let the burn envelope me Suffocating in order to believe That I wasn't just another foolish girl 10/8/08
