The dark sets in
Her mind is calm,
She sheds the skin
Of social harm.
Her heart beats slow
Then picks up the pace,
No longer below,
Peculiar grace.
A falling crown
But safer now,
A crippled heart,
But not to drown.
No more cries
No tears of pain,
Only joy
And wild rain.
She shuts her eyes
And breaks away
From all the lies,
A diamond ray.
No more burning
In her soul,
No more hurting,
Lips unsewn.
A beautiful aura
Of dark and light,
The night will fade
Into the bright.
Her heart lights up
With ecstasy,
Happy, although
A tragic story.
The true meaning
Of being sad,
Lips grinning,
But not glad.
A peek of sun rays
Through the curtain,
A blinding haze,
A painful burden.
She doesn't want
The happy to end,
But in the daylight
She has to bend.
Monstrous faces
Without a smile,
Hunger that chases
Till the last dime.
The day drags on,
A hurting stab,
Her life is a storm
Without a God.
No rainbow or sunshine
In the light,
But colours so vivid
Through the night.
