Flight

Pain does not glimmer, nor does it glow
pain likes to hide, it perfers not to show

crystiline tears roll out of downcast eyes
no one will see, only the lonely night

a longing so strong, it tears and rips at her heart
a pain so severe, once it starts, it can't be stopped

She waits in silent misery for the pain to dwindle down
she tips her head backwards, lets the moon light carress her face
out of everyone, its the one whose shoulder her tears have found

she clutches her heart as if that will make it stop beating
wails at the moon
begs to know why her pain is never fleeting

she sinks to her knees
and cradles her head
lonliness to her, a fatal disease
now that her heart has bled
her sorrow can be freed

when there are no more tears to cry
when the moon is hidden away from sight
only then will she get up
only then will she try

to wrench out her wings in the quiet of the night
to allow them to fold out, so that she may finally take flight
