Oh Little Swan
You have been hurt
By the touch
Of the vicious man

Oh Little Swan
The things you would do
For the love of your life
His smile and eyes blue

Oh Little Swan
Your fragile body
Vanishes into thin air
With every turn

Oh Little Swan
You long to be free
From memories of  
Anguish and misery

But this day
Will never come
Dry your tears
Little Swan
Smile and say your goodbyes
On this cold, dark day

He can't see it in my eyes
longing
needing
no.
Slightest touch
shifted feathers
I steal a glance
forbidden
Reaches out
Pulls back
Just one moment of sincerity
melancholy
desperation
I fall
He catches
safe
vulnerable
I give in.

Eyes rolled back
Lids flutter
Ruffled feathers
Longing feet

I try and hide
but he forces me to not go under
Strangled cries
Muffled sighs

Given up hope
'look at me' he says
I fall back

My heart he tries to open
I sank even lower

Gentle touches
Desperate whispers
One last time
back to the first sight

Eyes connect
No, not this time again.
