Silently, behind the window
Lost, in a house of dismay

Reflective moments in the glass
She sits there, day after day

Too many stones, left upturned
Not enough time to amend them

Excuses made, in every which way
Shattered, as she tries to defend them

Emptiness, fills the quiet room
As she refuses to believe, it is she

Who causes this to happen, over again
Defying, her own inadequacies

Sitting on the branch of the big ole tree

A spotted speck, lazing happily

Hiding, among the verdant needles

A happy place, for this little beetle

I wonder next, where she will lay

Ladybugs visit, but they never stay

Whatever was a little old witch to do?

She couldn’t get rid of her warts

Trying all manner of magical spells

These hideous things, she couldn’t thwart

Bibidi bobidi, they just didn’t work

Both abracadabra, and alakazam, fell flat

One more try, before completely giving up

Turned herself into a frog, just like that

They are the children of our future

Though unaware of what’s ahead

They are the many reasons

That hatred must be shed

They are lights, in this wretched world

Shining brightly, against darkened eyes

The ones who claim the lives of others

Simply because they despise

The chance the world could blossom

If we only practiced peace, and love

So the light that shines from those below

Will also shine, from God, above

On the bed sheets, a ring of gold
Along with a hand written note

No idea what she should be sorry for
Still, he felt a lump grow, in his throat

The small circle, of polished gold
Cast a shadow, in the shape of a heart

Suddenly, it dawned on him
His life, was falling apart

His state of affairs, no longer relevant
She was gone, without even goodbye

His heart, broken, into shattered pieces
When he realized, it had all been a lie
