Raven

Hidden beneath a raven’s eye
A desperate silence
A deafening cry
Her heart is beating
Lips are stilled
Her plastic smile
With lies is filled

Do I excuse or do I pardon?
A heart of tears
A soul that’s hardened
A tarnished gate
Into the garden?

The raven crows
She veils her face
And her desires
For beauty chase

oh what a waste
wing shadowed smile
the silhouette lasts but a while

eternal smile
careless grin
eternal joy
comes from within.
