I unfurls to sail,
stretching my arms out.
Gust of ecstatic emotion surges,
silent agony fall to pieces,
torn & tattered.
I seek floating away,
unlatching imprisoned soul,
fleeing deep dark abyss.
Pity and regrettably,
I don't feel free.
I am wingless.
Silent, constrained, caged
trapped for life.
Poetic T May 2016
Head was hastily hung low as halcyon wings
did shimmer in fading virtue. How could one
of such integrity slumber on what was now
a form of revulsion brought by her words.

Exasperated by  another's thoughts, syllables  
have influence upon the world. what was
before her shame was grotesque in nature
but still looked upon her with mournful sight.

Shrouded in what were once as she was now.
Each aurora now jagged remnant penetrating
forth from ones form. Garbs suspended over
a lingering form defiled  by what they covered.

Surroundings did falter at what enveloped this
form, all were now echoes of what was.
Leafs had fallen like tears and stagnated upon
a corrupted shell where life was eroding her tears fell.

Wings that shone once like a star in the sky,
now dissipating in to tears that her creation does
cradle within its features. Her head draped low as
words were spoke, syllables restrained no longer spoke.

Her prison of thought in this world below. Her sentence
to see what her actions awoke. It yearns for what was
taken, what was before. But all it sees is her wingless
form, and knows they are both prisoners on there own.
Sometimes I feel like I'm boundless

The sky cannot contain me
I shall soar into the infinite expanse
I am free to fly wherever I choose

Then, my heart crashes
Plummeting to the ground

I realize I don't even have wings

You put

Me

Together.  



You tear

Me

Apart.  



You shock

Me

Into silence.  



You rip

Apart my wings

And hold me down.  



You tell

Me

To suffer.  



You tell

Me

It'll be okay.  



But how

Will

Things be fine?  



With no wings to fly

Away.

No heart to feel my

Pain.

No pieces left to

Take.
An old one, from my ages of 13-15 somewhere.
