A portentous venture
Bold yet drained of courage
Finding ways to look ahead
The world was her oyster
But he held her back.
Tired of explaining but the
Words were unfathomable.
Fell on the ears deaf
Who had her already claimed.
Whirling in
the vortex
And caught
in the cobwebs
Of her own
fears and imperfections,
With her
head barely above.
May be he’s
perfect but she’s not.
The words
diffused in the air nonetheless.
The
wilderness of the thoughts so deep
What if it
was macabre all around.
Lost meaning
of so many things
Only wish
she was left alone
Wandering in
the swamps of the wild
With nothing
but her shoes on.
But the fear
of unknown
The fear of deportment
unruly
So much hurt
so much pain
And the
little soul she ventured.
