Secret of the Night

Thrashing about,
Surrounded by darkness,
Cold and dangerous,
Silent and screaming.
Enraged cries,
Piercing the night,
Echoing softly into the leaves.
Tears have long since fallen,
Blood has been spilled on the damp ground,
Laced with grace and sorrow.
Pain forever hides within,
Seizing the air with a deathly grip;
To be held like an angel,
Awaiting its wings;
Held like a ghost,
Trapped eternally in limbo.
Never to be found,
Never to be touched,
Only to shriek through the night,
Silently screaming,
Fighting for freedom.
