Unchain My Innocence
By: ILuminaeris
I lie here knowing no one will mourn
And after my loss I'll have never been known.
Still I try lifting my chest from the ground
But I close my eyes and fall back down
I know I'll die here slowly alone.
My shallow breath fogs the hard cold air.
I feel like a child lost in a dream.
No one will hold me or soothe my deep wounds.
I watch the scarlet sky, never knowing what I had.
I cry my last sunset, my tears catch its gleam
No one has ever told me "I love you."
No lips have ever graced my cheek.
I don't know love, not even what it means…
Still the first star shone in my last setting sky.
I wished it to unchain my innocence before I fell asleep.
With bruised hands I wiped my gray-stung eyes
And turned away, hearing his echo calling.
I don't want his mourning in seeing me this way.
Still I need someone to tell me it'll be okay
But I can't let him see the trail of my tears falling.
Weakly I twined my thought with his own.
I told him to leave, it's not safe to stay here
Beneath reaching canopies and blood stained thorns.
Any whisper might awaken the earth's raging spirit
But his thoughts dwelled stronger, drawn so near.
Wet as a widow's handkerchief, my eyes hurt to close,
So I watched my brother reaching, my rival, my kin
Risking his life to ease a moment of mine.
I was lost at the crossroads, and followed him leading me
But still my life quick was lived, only to end in sin.
He's kneeling down beside me now, trying to coax me up.
He says we're gunna leave this place, it'll all be okay.
Oh how I longed so to hear those words.
His cobalt eyes so concerned but I can't help but smile.
I see myself inside his eyes, reflecting my eyes gray.
But the canopy is shattered and I can't see his face.
I can feel his body shielding mine, but its all turned so dim.
He's placed himself on top of me, so I don't die in pain.
But a single daisy petal falls, on his form soon stilled.
I realize now that my innocence had always been chained in him.
