When Wallflowers Dance

Words echo
A blade against smooth hips
Worthless

Blood flows
A ribbon of red cascading down
Worthless

One more just one more
The knife cuts deep
Words pierce deeper
Worthless

The ribbon unfurls again
Moisture glitters in dark eyes
Can't escape
The chains holding her back
Tighten
Worthless/Whore/Trash
Another scar...

"His scars were enough"
The hand pauses
"Surrender your blade"
The knife drops
The chains break
All falls away

The Father reaches out his hand
"Can I have this dance?"
Dark eyes meet perfect glowing light
The hand stretches up to take His
Untainted peace wrapped in strong arms
