I found a man in my garden bed,
Picking herbs for his wife, he said,
For she was hungry and heavy with child.
"For greens, your daughter is mine," I smiled.
So after the birth, I took her away
To a tall, doorless tower where she would stay.
I was her mother, she my one care--
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your fair hair!"
But then a prince came and stole her young heart,
So I cut her long locks and let her depart.
I took her tresses for my own
And saw how beautiful I had grown.
Then I wondered: could I, too,
Find a prince so valiant and true?
I married a king, to my delight,
With one daughter named Snow White.
Though his age w
I feel the cage door
Open
For the first time
That I can remember
How long has it been?
What is the year?
Millions of questions
Flood my mind
I can let my
Wings soar
For my soul
Is finally free
From the bondage of
life
Face half obscured
By fallen hair
Eyes a misty grey,
Or are they blue?
Hands folded
Or are they restless?
She sits still
Or is she pacing?
She is beautiful
Or is she a wreck?
A pretty smile covers
Her face
Or is it a grimace?
Some see or believe
The attractive side
But is there more?
Pity no one sees
The real
Her
He sees her leave
With a child
His child
One eye his
The other
That of a beast
From her
Her mother
He longs to
Reach for
Them
But can't
As he recalls
That day
That caused his
Life to end
While Isabel
Was pacing
He had seen it!
Her change
He couldn't believe
What his eyes showed him
Was it a trick?
Some work of the
Devil?
No,
Its coat
Was the same
Shade of color
As his beloved
A deep golden brown
He fled toward
His home
Thoughts pounding
His head
He knew she
Was different
But that's what
He loved about her
She loved
The trees
To run under
The full moon
He thought her
To be a nymph
In a hum
I want to run
But why?
To where
For that matter
What is my reason?
Why run?
My paws yearn
For the freedom
But my heart
Tells me to stay
But why?
For him
But I can
Take him with
Me
Can't I?
Will he want to?
Run like a wolf?
Be a gypsy by
Day?
I don't know
I run in a circle
Howling my confused
Feelings
Tell me Yan,
What would you
Have me do?
Well you go?
Two years
Two late
You died that
Day
The day I went
To tell you the truth
The truth about me
And my people
I sigh and
Say a simple blessing
As I lead our little
One away
From the spot where
Your spirit lies
In the heart of the
Mountain
I used to cry
but now I smile
I used to scream
now I laugh
I used to hate
now I love
I used to be trapped
now I'm free
I used to feel dull
Now I shine
I used to be blinded
now I see
I used to be
so many things
now I'm so much
better
and its all
because
you let me
go
I was tricked
how could i be betrayed
in such a manner?
I trusted you
when others said kill you
I choose to spare you
only to be repayed
by decite
may you rot in hell
for all enterty
I grew to love you
thus, my down fall
As the army runs rampit
through the grounds
I lay dieing
from a broken hurt
not from the poison
tipped sword
shoved in my chest
A different type of addiction by yaziyaari, literature
Literature
A different type of addiction
My body shutters constantly
I never feel warm
as the toxin leaves my body
my mood is stuck between
instant anger
to consent sadness and hopelessness
I gotta have it
I wanna have it
but that is only the poison
tricking my body back
into believing that
one more taste
well be okay
not going to fall for
it
I've been so close to relapsing
but I mustn't
for fear of getting hurt again
curse the addiction
known as
love
I hear the tears
as the splash the key bored
I feel weak
pathetic even
I feel as though
I'm losing you
is it wrong?
to cry
is it the
reason he left?
I pause as
the phone rings
you've heard my
silent tears
I smile as
you tell me that
miles , seas
mountains
and many other things
can separate us
but "I will always
come back to you"
I hang up the phone
and fall into a slumber
and dream
of us
hand and hand
