CRYSTALLIZATION
Silent pleas,
ignored and side-lined.
Imploring eyes,
Responded to with snaps of, “you’re fine”.
A cowering frame,
dying to be ignored.
As tears fall freely,
from eyes that implore.
Crystallization,
Is what I aim to do.
Forget the tears,
Or at least be able to pretend to.
Love isn’t real,
at least not in this world.
A hope or a dream serves,
no one but little girls.
I need to believe,
In endings well deserved.
In knights that slayed dragons,
In lines that learn to curve.
But, I know now,
Things always stay the same.
A laugh is a laugh,
A game is a game.
And I am older now,
Don’t hope for the old foolish things.
I hum the songs,
that I no longer dare to sing.
But that doesn’t change,
The person I used to be.
A little bit more buried,
A little less than me.

Thanks Outlier 🙂
Oh this is so beautiful…when I read of dragons and dreams, then this is meant for me. It's something I'll never learn to outgrow. I believe … geez…
Thanks Melissa, this was written by my daughter after she had read my post. She is very talented and it took her 2 minutes to write it up.
Lovely poem. Sad and haunting. Did your daughter really write that in 2 minutes? Wow! Very impressive!
That’s such a poignant poem: the emotions are exuding out of it! <3
